255. It’s Giving… Effective Feedback to This New Generation
Manage episode 507226023 series 3310389
In this episode, we dive into one of the trickiest and most important leadership skills: giving (and receiving) feedback in today’s workplace. From first hand transatlantic insights, to the realities of mental health at work, we explore what it really takes to create a culture where feedback fuels growth rather than fear.
We discuss:
- Generational differences — why feedback lands so differently across age groups, and what leaders can do about it.
- Clarity and growth mindset — using language that motivates rather than deflates.
- Receiving feedback well — how to model openness and set the tone for your team.
- Mental health and support — recognising when feedback needs to be paired with compassion and care.
Whether you’re leading a Gen Z-heavy team, supporting experienced colleagues through change, or simply wanting to sharpen your own feedback muscles, this episode offers practical tips, honest reflections, and a reminder that feedback is a two-way street.
