The Feedback Gap: What Employees Need From Leaders Today

Managers have never been expected to coach more, develop more and connect more with their teams. Yet one essential leadership skill continues to lag behind: the ability to have clear, candid performance conversations. Employees crave feedback that actually helps them move forward, yet many managers hold back, worried about how their words will land. That hesitation creates a quiet but costly gap between the clarity employees need, and the support leaders feel comfortable offering.

Watch our webinar as Mike Mackie, Executive Coach, and Carmen McLean, Master Trainer, at The Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) share practical strategies for how leaders can bridge that gap and make feedback feel natural, constructive and far less intimidating, turning difficult conversations into powerful opportunities for stronger performance, greater engagement and meaningful growth.
