Making Others Successful: Success Through Feedback

An important aspect of the coaching process is performance feedback. This consists of the coach’s role in sharpening the skills of team members, closing the gaps, and expanding responsibilities. When team members consistently fall short in their performance, these types of conversations, although necessary, are sometimes uncomfortable and unnatural for us as leaders. This is the part of coaching that many of us tend to want to avoid. When we avoid constructive feedback, we also miss out on the opportunity to develop our team members, even if does take us a little outside our comfort zone.
