Four people told her she nailed it. The fifth person told her the truth, and that's the only one who actually helped her get better.

Most leaders think they're getting honest feedback. They're not. Silence gets mistaken for agreement, and that mistake is costing you more than you realize.

In this episode:

  • Why praise feels good but constructive feedback is what actually builds skill
  • The real numbers on how few employees get honest feedback, and what it costs when they don't
  • Netflix's "farming for dissent" strategy, and why great leaders go hunt for disagreement instead of waiting for it
  • A simple 3-part recipe you can use in your very next decision: who to ask, how to ask, and where to look first

If you lead people or make decisions that affect others, this one's for you.
