The Power of Feedback: Building a Positive Team Culture

How can we give feedback in the best way? Daniella Dos Santos and Simon Allistone discuss the vital role of feedback in team dynamics and leadership. Simon, Leadership Development Specialist at IVC Evidensia, highlights the benefits of positive feedback, such as promoting collaboration, reducing misunderstandings, and building stronger relationships. Daniella and Simon also explore the emotional challenges associated with feedback, and offer strategies for leaders to navigate these difficulties confidently and constructively.
