Most leaders think giving more feedback is the secret to better performance.
But the truth? The fastest way to build a genuine feedback culture is to ask for feedback yourself.

In this episode of Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (and how to fix it!) — the business growth podcast for SME owners and leaders — Brendan Rogers flips the traditional feedback mindset and shows why real leadership starts with curiosity, not control.

If you want to lift team performance, strengthen trust, and create a culture where people thrive, this short solo episode will help you lead the way.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why most feedback cultures fail before they even start.
• The one leadership habit that builds trust faster than anything else.
• How asking for feedback accelerates business growth and team alignment.
• Simple, repeatable questions you can use in your next 1:1.
• The mindset shift that turns “giving feedback” into “growing together.”

This episode is perfect for:
