Development Feedback vs. Performance Feedback
Most organizations know how to evaluate people. Fewer know how to develop them.
In this First Friday conversation, Henley coaches explore what shifts when leaders move beyond performance-focused feedback and begin having genuine development conversations with their people.
You’ll explore:
The core distinction between performance and development conversations
What it costs individuals and teams when development feedback never makes it into the day-to-day
What it sounds like in practice, with real-word examples of how to reframe common feedback moments
What typically gets in the way of leaders stepping into these conversations
This session makes the case that feedback as most organizations practice it is backward-looking by default, and that the more powerful opportunity is forward. Shanon and Courtney walk through concrete examples of how the same situation sounds in a performance frame versus a development frame, and explore what it takes for a leader to show up genuinely curious rather than evaluative.
Facilitated by:
Henley Leadership Group coaches Courtney Coldwell and Shanon Olsen
