Chapter 8: Using feedback to boost performance + Q&A

22 mins Latest episode

Feedback is essential to performance.
Without it, we are flying blind. We’ve all heard the saying that ‘no news is good news’, but when it comes to inspiring high performance, it’s just not true. In high-performance cultures and high-performing teams, leaders adopt a constant and daily habit of asking for and giving feedback, reinforcing the behaviours of their people that add value and bring us closer to meeting set standards.

What to expect in this episode:
(02:42) The actual reason people shy away from receiving feedback
(04:38): Excerpt from chapter 8 of Steph’s book, ‘Purpose, Passion and Performance’
(14:13): This speed-dating trick will encourage staff to ask for feedback

Chapter 7: The importance of clear standards

14 mins

Setting standards is about being clear on the outcomes for performance; but not being prescriptive about how to get there. It’s about pointing the direction you want people to go; but letting the navigate their own path. This can at first seem paradoxical. 

How can you exert control as a leader over an outcome without controlling the way that outcome is achieved?

What to expect in this episode:
(03:31): Excerpt from chapter 7 of the book, ‘Purpose, Passion and Performance’
(06:54): This one mind trick will make you spot opportunities in your goal and standard setting
(08:41): 3 key tips on setting standards
