Making such changes first requires that we notice the problem, opportunity, or need. However, when it comes to changing ourselves, it’s not always easy to see things clearly. This is why feedback from an external perspective is essential for seeing how our behaviors, actions, and attitudes are perceived by others. Learn the benefits of effective feedback, best practices for giving and receiving feedback, and how leaders can prepare their teams for using feedback to improve personal and professional performance.
