  • In today's workplaces, feedback emerges as a crucial catalyst for professional development and organizational success. Whether you're steering the ship as a captain or navigating the waters as a vital crew member, it serves as the compass guiding individuals and teams toward excellence. Beyond being a managerial tool, feedback is a cornerstone of effective leadership, offering insights into team strengths and weaknesses to foster continuous improvement. Employees, too, benefit immensely from constructive feedback, gaining clarity on performance, understanding expectations, and unlocking their full potential. On this episode of the ReLearned podcast, hosts Nidhi Tewari and Billy Samoa delve into the pivotal role of feedback in personal and professional growth. They address the gap between perceived and actual feedback from managers, explore the emotional impact of feedback, and share strategies for ensuring its receptiveness. The conversation extends to fostering a culture where seeking feedback is comfortable, addressing biases in feedback, and the importance of discernment in considering whose feedback matters. The hosts emphasize the key elements of clear expectations, capability, measurement, and consequences of ineffective feedback. Key Takeaways There is a significant gap between the importance of feedback and the lack of managers providing it. Creating a culture where people feel comfortable asking for feedback is crucial.
