Imagine leadership without feedback. It's like trying to navigate a ship without instruments or stars – virtually impossible. In this episode of The Heart & Science of Leadership Podcast, Dr. Paulie Gavoni and A.J. Rinaldi dive deep into one of the most misunderstood tools in a leader’s toolbox—feedback.

📢 Feedback isn't just a way to correct mistakes—it's a powerful lever for shaping culture, improving performance, and building trust. But too often, it's delivered haphazardly, inconsistently, or with the wrong intent.

They explore:

• Why most leaders get feedback wrong
• The behavior science behind effective feedback loops
• Common myths that sabotage team performance
• Practical, actionable strategies to give (and get) feedback that actually works

Whether you're leading a team, managing a classroom, or coaching others to succeed, this episode breaks down how to use feedback not as a tool for control—but as a catalyst for growth.

🧠 It’s not just about saying something—it’s about shaping something.

Remember, leadership isn't about intent, it's about impact.
