How to fix it when delegating fails - 5 min feedback script

Host Lia Garvin breaks down exactly what to do in the first five minutes after delegated work comes back wrong. Learn why taking work back stalls team growth, a practical 5‑minute feedback script to correct the task without micromanaging, and clear steps to restore accountability and prevent repeat mistakes — phrasing you can use immediately.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why taking work back without feedback keeps your team stuck -- and you stuck in the weeds
• The question to ask yourself before you give corrective feedback
• What it sounds like to name the gap specifically without making it personal
• How to turn a bad first delivery into a real learning moment
• Why the goal isn't "done my way" -- and how that reframe changes everything
