Make giving and receiving feedback a leadership habit. Helpful feedback develops talent, improves communication, and increases performance. Yet, most leaders rarely give it or take the time to request it.

Leaders often have years of valuable experience and wisdom to share, but it’s NEVER passed on to the rest of the organization. You can unlock this “goldmine” by working with your leaders and their team to make feedback a habit instead of a once per year event (see annual reviews).

I host Chris Abbass CEO and Co-founder of Talentful, on the show where he shares a powerful strategy for making feedback a productive habit throughout your organization.

His company provides subscription based recruiting solutions to some of the world’s most ambitious tech companies. He’s previously worked with companies like Audible and Shazam.

Chris Abbass has more than a decade of expertise in leadership and recruitment for game-changing technology companies.

Chris is from the UK, moved to San Francisco in 2020, and now resides in New York City.
