About this episode

This episode discusses how leaders can better recognize and respond to the feedback their employees are giving, even when it's not directly communicated.

Your employees are constantly giving you feedback. You just may not be hearing it. In this episode of The Leadership Hustle, Andrea Fredrickson and Michelle Hill explore the subtle ways employees communicate what they need from leaders. From body language and silence in meetings to comments about delegation, stress, and communication style, feedback is happening all the time, even when it's not spoken directly. Andrea and Michelle discuss why employees hesitate to be honest with leaders, how managers accidentally shut feedback down, and what leaders can do to create safer, more open conversations. They also unpack the difference between reacting defensively and responding with curiosity when someone has the courage to tell you the truth. If you want to become a better leader, your people already have the roadmap. You just have to start listening. For more resources on developing leadership skills visit us at Revela .
