167. Stop Outsourcing Feedback: The Leadership Contract No One Talks About with Prina Shah
In this short, sharp culture drop, Prina Shah challenges a common leadership habit that quietly erodes trust: outsourcing feedback.
When leaders avoid difficult conversations and pass them to HR or others, they send two unintended messages — I can’t handle hard things and you can’t trust me.
This episode is a direct call to action:
If you lead people, giving feedback is not optional. It’s the job.
Prina breaks down a simple, practical way to approach feedback conversations with clarity, ownership, and respect — without overcomplicating it or hiding behind process.
