Giving Feedback Part 2 of 2

Leadership coach Dr. Anne Brown delivers a guide to mastering the 7 types of feedback every leader needs to elevate their team and career. Whether you’re tackling immediate “spotlight” corrections for disrupted client calls, delivering developmental coaching to build skills over time, or offering “high-five” positive reinforcement for standout project updates, this episode equips you with real-world examples, exact phrasing, and actionable tips to give feedback with clarity and confidence.

Feedback isn’t one-size-fits-all—Dr. Brown breaks it down into event-based (timely behavior fixes), developmental (progress celebration plus next-level tweaks), positive (specific praise tied to impact), constructive (neutral course corrections), performance reviews (balanced sandwich approach for annual growth), feedforward (future-focused opportunities), and upward feedback (respectful input to your boss). Learn how to stay behavior-focused, future-oriented, and solutions-driven to avoid common pitfalls like vagueness or patronizing tones.
