Delivering Effective Feedback

Most leaders know feedback matters. What they struggle with is how to give it without damaging the relationship — and how to receive it without getting defensive. In Episode 9, Alex breaks down both sides of the feedback conversation. We explore how to receive feedback well, including what to do when two people give you completely opposite feedback and how to identify when something is worth acting on versus a one-off. Then we get into how to give feedback effectively using the SBIA model: Situation, Behavior, Impact, Action — a practical framework that moves feedback away from feeling like a verdict and toward a real conversation. This episode includes a Solo Rehearsal to help you draft and pressure-test a piece of feedback you have been sitting on, and a Team Rehearsal to put it into practice. ⁠
