O TYM ODCINKU
Most leaders believe they give good feedback, and most employees disagree. If you manage people, this episode explains why well-meant feedback so often fails to change anything.
Researcher Lisa Sansom shares what the evidence shows about trust, emotion and timing, plus simple conversation habits that cost nothing and build engagement.
About the Guest:
Lisa Sansom owns LVS Consulting and is an ICF Professional Certified Coach with an MBA from Rotman and a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She is pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration on the workplace impact of positive feedback.
Key Takeaways:
- Research suggests feedback helps about a third of the time, does nothing a third, and backfires a third.
- How an employee feels predicts action more than the feedback content does.
- Skip the feedback sandwich. Name the topic, then let the employee choose when to talk.
- Ask what got in the way, agree a follow-up plan, and check in within days.
- Genuine positive feedback takes 30 seconds, but high performers need specific, stretching input.
