The Art of Giving (and Receiving) Crucial Feedback
We all know good leadership requires giving effective feedback, and we can all improve at it.
What’s so often neglected is that how a leader receives feedback directly relates to how well they
give feedback.

Summary
In this session, learners explore the physiology of giving and receiving feedback; how to foresee
manage their behavior; plan for the best outcome; and follow through for maximum impact. A
combination of interaction and exposition will guide the group to mastering this crucial leadership
skill.
