Host Lia Garvin breaks down exactly what to do in the first five minutes after delegated work comes back wrong. Learn why taking work back stalls team growth, a practical 5‑minute feedback script to correct the task without micromanaging, and clear steps to restore accountability and prevent repeat mistakes — phrasing you can use immediately.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why taking work back without feedback keeps your team stuck -- and you stuck in the weeds
• The question to ask yourself before you give corrective feedback
• What it sounds like to name the gap specifically without making it personal
• How to turn a bad first delivery into a real learning moment
• Why the goal isn't "done my way" -- and how that reframe changes everything
