Listen "The Feedback Fallacy"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of 'Grody & Unprofessional,' Justin McMenamy explores the challenges leaders face in receiving honest, candid feedback from their teams, subordinates, peers, and departing employees due to conflicts of interest and modified behavior while observed by peers. McMenamy discusses the value of honing leadership skills before becoming an official leader. He suggests that aspiring leaders are in a unique position to develop their skills by leveraging their lack of authority to receive genuine feedback. Additionally, he recommends current leaders seek feedback outside their work environments, such as in volunteer roles, to improve their leadership abilities. Ultimately, trust, humility, and a long-term commitment to openness can help leaders receive the candid feedback necessary for growth.
