Episode 015: Performance Management — Feedback for Leaders
Key Takeaways:
Leaders need to listen to, understand, and act on feedback for that feedback to be effective.
Getting honest, productive feedback from your team can be difficult if you haven’t built a culture of trust and safety around giving feedback to leaders. If you’re still creating a positive feedback culture, use body language to help you gauge how your team is reacting to what you’re saying and doing.
Other leaders can become your mentors and give you feedback on your leadership style and challenges. Remember to consult other leaders in your field and leaders outside your field, both those who are ahead of you and coming up behind you on the leadership journey.
The Lord is the ultimate source for honest, unbiased feedback. All you need to do is ask!
