Learn to love feedback

As a manager, giving feedback is one of the most effective ways of improving team performance. However, it's also part of the job that many team members fear.


But when delivered in the right way, with the right intentions, giving and receiving feedback is one of the most powerful tools in a manager’s arsenal.


Effective feedback relies on more than just that once a year conversation highlighting the positives and negatives of a team member’s performance. Start to introduce feedback sessions after big projects, campaigns, or ‘everyday’ scenarios where appropriate.


When you have regular, open, and honest discussions around performance, you help to set out clear expectations for your team. You get to discover strengths and areas for growth which can encourage a learning mindset, boost morale, and improve engagement.


Stop feeling apprehensive about giving feedback. Think of it as a pathway to growth, improvement, and empowering professional development in your organization.
