In this episode of Leadership Launchpad, the conversation explores why giving and receiving feedback is challenging, especially for technical managers. The discussion focuses on evolutionary and social reasons behind feedback anxiety and emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to feedback. Drawing from lessons in the book Minimum Viable Manager, listeners are introduced to actionable strategies, including the SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact) and COIN feedback models. The episode outlines a three-step plan for building a high-feedback culture: starting by asking for feedback, giving reinforcing feedback, and finally delivering redirecting feedback. Practical examples and phased implementation advice offer a roadmap for leaders to improve team performance and foster trust.
