I like to ask leaders to share the most powerful piece of feedback they have ever received. My own answer to that question goes back 20+ years and reframed the entire way I view leadership.

Learning to give and receive feedback effectively is one of the most powerful skills a leader can learn.  The feedback piggy bank is an easy concept to grasp, but one that takes practice to implement.

When working with senior leaders one of the biggest hurdles is to get them to see constructive feedback in a positive light. Too often leaders think feedback is an attack on them.   Referring to feedback as a gift opens their eyes to the positives.
