Episode 33 - Why do new managers find it so hard to give feedback?


Listen Later

This week I'm talking about feedback at work and why new managers in particular find this the hardest part of their role.


For first-time managers, giving feedback can feel like the hardest part of their job. Even if you set aside the fact that critiquing someone's performance can be an emotional and stress-inducing experience, things feel twice as bad for new managers who, let's face it, might be lacking the training they need to give constructive feedback effectively and maybe lacking training in other areas too.


In this episode, I take a look at the four ways feedback can go wrong and how you can fix it. Plus, as always I end the episode with a coaching question and this week it's all about how you receive feedback as a leader.
