• Transformational Feedback over Constructive Criticism: Aaron explains that traditional "constructive criticism" often feels punitive. Instead, approaching feedback as a tool for transformation fosters mutual growth.
• Curiosity and Self-Reflection: The effectiveness of feedback begins with self-reflection. Aaron advises leaders to explore their intentions and emotional state before initiating a feedback session.
• Receiving Feedback with Openness: Aaron emphasizes that the receiver's mindset is equally crucial. Cultivating curiosity and focusing on learning can turn even uncomfortable feedback into an opportunity for growth.
• Intentional Communication: For leaders, intentional preparation, clear language, and a mindset of support can make feedback both meaningful and motivating.
