Delivering feedback correctly can be more challenging than it seems. Leaders must balance honesty with sensitivity, ensuring the message is received without causing defensiveness or discouragement. Additionally, they must navigate their own discomfort and potential biases to provide feedback that is fair and impactful. Staff members face similar challenges, with the added pressure of potentially upsetting their managers. In this session, participants will learn the components of effective feedback and practice how to share their opinions effectively, both as leaders and staff.
