026: The Power of Feedback
Do you feel appreciated? Do you know when you are doing a good job? Do you know the little things you need to tweak to improve and get better? Do you show others that you appreciate them? Do you let them know when they could improve on something?
"Good job." "Way to go." "You did great today." "Thanks for doing that. I appreciate it."
Aren’t those words nice to hear?
What about things like...Could you please go into more detail next time? Would you be able to add pictures throughout the presentation? Or telling someone “we don’t use that type of language here. Please refrain from doing so from now on. You are representing the company.”
Those ones may not be the greatest to hear all the time, but they are just as important as the encouragement.
All of these words aren’t hard to say yet we don’t hear them nearly enough. We also don’t say them nearly enough to others.
Feedback. It’s a powerful thing.
It makes a world of a difference.
It gives direction. It sets the tone. It motivates us. It helps us understand each other. It helps us improve. It allows us feel valued and appreciated.
It’s powerful.
In this episode of the Heart of Leadership Podcast, we talk about the power of feedback and why you should be making it a habit of giving people around you the feedback they need.
