In this episode, we explore why high performers actually crave constructive input, how neglecting these conversations can lead to disengagement, and what leaders can do to provide meaningful feedback that keeps their best people motivated and growing.

Ep 59: Turning Feedback into Actionable Results
How often do you deliver feedback and expect immediate change, only to find that the person receiving it struggles to take action? In this episode, we dive into the process of turning feedback into a development plan that leads to real results. Senior leaders often want employees to make changes on their own with little direction, but what happens when they can't? Sometimes, it's crucial to invest more time and effort into guiding the person through the change, ensuring that feedback isn't just a one-time conversation, but a transformative coaching opportunity.
