265: Feedback as fuel for trust
About this episode
In this episode, we explore the transformative power of feedback for leaders. Drawing from the insightful article "How Leaders Can Get the Feedback They Need to Grow" from Harvard Business Review by Kim Scott, Liz Fosslien, and Mollie West Duffy (2023), we discuss the importance of seeking feedback as a means of enhancing trust in our learning community.
We examine the common barriers that leaders face when seeking feedback and consider key questions to reflect on in order to overcome these obstacles. From the fear of criticism to the illusion of knowing everything, we explore the mental roadblocks that can impede our ability to learn and improve.
We share our personal experiences with seeking feedback and reflect on the impact it has had on our leadership journey. Jeff and Tricia also offer actionable tips for leaders to create a feedback-friendly culture within their organization and establish meaningful connections with their team.
