Why Most Leaders Fail at Giving Feedback

Researchers analysed 600+ studies and found that feedback made performance worse 1 in 3 times. Not neutral. Worse.

In this episode, I break down the three specific ways feedback fails and share a simple framework (T-F-F: Timing, Focus, Feedforward) that changes how leaders communicate.

What you will learn:
• Why your brain cannot process feedback under stress
• The difference between feedback that describes behaviour and feedback that attacks identity
• Marshall Goldsmith's feedforward method, tested on 1 million+ leaders

10:50 The Power of Feed Forward
12:12 The TFF Framework: Timing, Focus, Feed Forward
14:00 What Leaders Should Do Differently

Welcome to The Rohit Gautam Show.

Business. Leadership. The Human Mind.

I am Rohit Gautam, a leadership coach with experience working with executives, founders, and teams. For the past few years, I hosted Curiosulus Chronicles, a podcast about leadership and coaching. The questions got bigger. The name could not keep up. So I rebuilt it.

This is what the show is about:

0:00 Why I started this show
0:10 Who I am
0:30 What this show covers
1:00 Who this show is for
1:25 How to get started

What to expect:

Solo episodes (10-15 min): One idea, broken down. No filler.
Conversations (30-45 min): Deep interviews with leaders, founders, coaches, and psychologists.
