Update: 2025-07-22
Description
What happens when no one on your team is willing to give tough feedback—except you?
In this episode of Hire Power, host Kim Frost dives into leadership styles that emerge during uncomfortable conversations. Through a powerful real-life story from her client Robert, Kim explores what it truly means to lead with courage, clarity, and respect.
You'll learn:
- The 3 leadership styles when it comes to feedback: the Avoider, the Bulldozer, and the Coach
- Why avoiding tough conversations does more damage than speaking up
- How Robert gave long-overdue feedback to a 20-year employee—and what happened next
- How delivery, empathy, and timing define your impact as a leader
If you're dealing with a technically strong team member who’s culturally off, this episode will help you find the clarity—and courage—to address it.
