Why this topic matters

Feedback is one of the most valuable tools a leader has, yet it is often avoided because it can feel uncomfortable. Leaders who learn to give and receive feedback well can uncover blind spots, build deeper trust, and help their teams grow. Making feedback a normal part of leadership creates opportunities to address issues sooner and continuously improve.
