Great leaders don’t leave feedback to chance. They create clear expectations around how it’s given, measured, and valued across the team. In this module, you’ll learn how to balance the frequency of feedback, use data to guide performance conversations, and recognize the impact of mid-performing team members so you can create a culture where steady growth and contribution are consistently reinforced.
