Too often, leaders hesitate to address performance concerns or disruptive behaviors because they don’t want to hurt feelings or create tension. But that silence has a cost. When tough conversations don’t happen, small issues turn into big ones and toxic behaviors quietly take root. This session invites leaders to rethink feedback as an expression of respect and commitment—not criticism.
