Leading Beyond Any Title: Is Feedback a Gift?

As a Leader, providing continuous feedback is a critical aspect of steering performance, fostering accountability, nurturing team growth, and ensuring that work remains on track and is timely. But is feedback genuinely a gift?
 
Consider: When you give someone a gift, the intent, delivery, and the occasion are carefully considered. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or a well-done gesture, the context matters. Feedback demands a similar level of thought and intention, yet, regrettably, it often falls short. Observe the subtle cues when you approach someone with, “May I offer you some feedback?”. Does their body language radiate excitement and openness, or do you sense hesitation?
