Three pitfalls to avoid when delivering feedback
Feedback is both one of the most important skills to master as a manager... and one of the toughest.
But in trying to make a tough situation easier, we sometimes make the mistake of assuming how the situation will go before before we enter the conversation - allowing ourselves to bias the situation.
In this episode, I talk about three pitfalls to avoid when giving feedback to a team member and what to do instead.
