The Value of Feedback

Feedback helps you be better as a leader, and it helps the organization be better overall. People are hungry for connection and want to be seen in this hybrid world. Building a culture of feedback creates connection while validating and motivating people to be their best. Implementing a feedback culture not only helps individuals in their careers, but it also directly impacts financial results for your company.

Listen in on this event to learn how great leadership begins and ends with feedback and how to create a normalized, comfortable, hungry organization for feedback.
