Major Pitfalls To Avoid When Giving And Receiving Feedback [Podcast]

Feedback is a valuable gift that when delivered and received properly can lead to extraordinary success. For years, leaders have been taught to provide feedback in the form of a sandwich. Leaders learned to start with something positive, then provide the criticism, and then finish with something else positive to the recipient. Alison Whitmire, CEO Learning In Action explains that following this feedback method is just really bad advice.

In this episode of the Grow My Revenue Business Cast, Ian Altman interviews Alison Whitmire a legendary executive coach known for achieving amazing results with high performing executives.
