Feedback is one of the most powerful tools in business—but also one of the most misused. Whether it’s poorly timed, emotionally charged, or completely untrained, feedback done wrong doesn’t just miss the mark—it damages teams, trust, and culture.
In this episode of the Revolving Change Podcast, Jorge Loebl joins Joanna to unpack the anatomy of feedback failure—and how to prevent it. This isn’t just about phrasing things better. It’s about building a system where feedback is trained, expected, and safe for both givers and receivers.
Key Insight: Feedback isn’t just a communication skill—it’s a cultural standard. Without training, structure, and clear expectations, feedback becomes a liability, not a leadership tool.
This episode explores:
- The difference between systematic (data-based) and interpersonal (people-based) feedback—and why both are critical
- Why most feedback fails due to lack of training, listening skills, and emotional congruence
- How ego, fear, and untrained responses distort feedback and prevent real growth
- What it takes to build a culture of feedback where performance improves and people grow—without fear

Final Thought: Feedback Isn’t a Skill. It’s a System.
When feedback is treated as a one-off skill, it backfires.
When it’s embedded as a system of mutual growth and responsibility, it becomes a force for continuous improvement.
This episode is a masterclass on getting feedback right—by changing how your company trains for it, talks about it, and practices it daily.
