Month 4: Team Leadership and Management-Week 3:

Hello Subs,

Welcome to Christopher Frazier's Leadership Insights. Today, we're exploring a critical leadership skill: delivering effective feedback.

Why Feedback Matters Feedback drives growth, boosts motivation, and fuels organizational success. When done right, it strengthens relationships and enhances performance across the board.

Five Strategies for Impactful Feedback

1. Precision and Timeliness Don't just say "Good job." Be specific: "Your market trend analysis was particularly insightful." Act fast: Provide feedback soon after the event for maximum impact.

2. The Praise-Critique Balance Recognize strengths while addressing improvement areas. Example: • Praise: "Your report was impressively thorough." • Critique: "For future reports, consider adding an executive summary."

3. Actions, Not Personality Focus on behaviors to promote growth and avoid defensiveness. Instead of: "You're disorganized." Try: "I noticed some missing documents. Let's create a checklist for completeness."

4. Foster Dialogue Make feedback a two-way conversation. Ask: "What challenges did you face, and how can we tackle them together?"

5. Provide Clear Next Steps Offer practical improvement strategies. Example: "To enhance your presentations, try rehearsing with a colleague and timing your delivery."

Your Next Move Reflect on your recent interactions. How can you incorporate these strategies into your feedback approach?

Remember: Thoughtful feedback is a powerful catalyst for growth and progress.

Thank you for your continued readership. We're committed to empowering your leadership journey.

Lead on,

Christopher Frazier
