A day without feedback is a day without learning and growth.

Our latest ICF/HCI research reveals a powerful trend: organizations that invest in coaching leaders are seeing a surge in leadership development and employee engagement. 📈 This isn't just about giving feedback, it's about unlocking potential and fostering high-performing teams.

When we turn our attention away from human skills, we're more likely to perpetuate a dehumanized view of people as "resources," undermine the effectiveness of change strategies, shelter unskilled leaders based on their ability to "deliver results" (regardless of their impact on culture and psychological safety), and fail to recognize that employee wellbeing is integral to overall organizational success.

Whenever someone argues that #PsychologicalSafety and #performance standards are at odds with one another, I like to reference one of my favorite graphs (sometimes referred to as PS² 😉). Great to see it featured in this article by Leo Bottary on exceptional teams and 'peernovation'. I particularly love the line: "Groups and teams who operate in the Learning Zone don’t regard winning as their goal." Spot on! When your goal is to continue learning, #growth and #discovery become rewards in their own right. Read here: https://lnkd.in/e66GN4sS

Are you saying “sorry” too often for things that don't need an apology? If so, remember other people may see you as less competent and confident. Over-apologizing can happen for a variety of reasons: people-pleasing (making others feel better), low self-esteem (guilt for taking too much space), or unconscious behavior (bad habit you may not even realize). So, stop over-apologizing and replace “sorry” with something more adequate.
