As it’s important for leaders to give constructive feedback, in order to help their employees grow, develop their skills, confidence etc.. which results in organizational growth. Similarly, It’s important for an individual to ask for feedback instead of waiting to receive it. Start thinking of feedback as the fuel for your professional growth. In fact, set a goal to solicit feedback regularly instead of waiting for it to come to you. When you begin to see the value in regular feedback, your manager will find it easier to deliver, and—using these strategies—you’ll find it easier to receive, assess, and apply. Let’s take a look at how you can ensure that your future performance conversations are positive and productive.

• Examine the necessity to change your perspective towards feedback

• Identify the behaviors of receiving feedback

• Assess the ways of responding to feedback

All teams need coaches. That’s how they get better. Your role as the leader of a high-performing team is to provide the training, resources, coaching, and support they need—as individuals and as a team—so that they can grow in their abilities, and perform as efficiently and dynamically as possible. Because of today’s constantly evolving business environment, every individual, regardless of position or experience, needs ongoing training and coaching. Knowing which tools, training opportunities, and coaching methods work for each individual is critical. Research by Accenture found that 31% of employees left their jobs because they don’t like their boss; another 31% cited lack of empowerment as their reason for leaving. This lesson will help you build robust coaching connections and a toolkit that will help you develop your team’s skills, coach them to personal and professional success, and build a culture of growth and continuous improvement.
