Welcome to the Integrated Leader Podcast! I’m Lauren Marie, and today we’re diving into the power of a feedback mindset—the first step to building a culture of openness and growth. In this episode, discover why proactive feedback isn’t just a leadership tool, but a transformative practice that drives engagement, innovation, and trust.

Key takeaways include:

• Ask Specific Questions: Replace vague queries with targeted questions that yield actionable insights.

• Listen Actively: Focus fully on the response without interrupting, to truly understand different perspectives.

• Show Appreciation: A simple thank you reinforces an open, trusting relationship.

Drawing on Gallup research, we see that regular, constructive feedback boosts productivity and engagement. By inviting your team to share their insights, you set the tone for transparency and collective success.

Take the challenge: bring one specific feedback question to your next team meeting and experience the transformation. Stay tuned as we continue our feedback series with a focus on active listening in our next episode.

Keep asking, keep listening, and keep growing as integrated leaders. See you tomorrow!
