As a leader, whether you are a CEO or a department manager, you don't get real, honest feedback. Either people or scared or became blind to some of your ways, the effect is that this lack of feedback hurts your growth. As a Dutchman, I know how to give feedback that American don't want to give. I have also seen people grow tremendously by finally understanding how their actions come across to others. I am not afraid to tell you what I see - and I have done this for 20 years in Fortune 500 companies with great results.
