    Linda Murray: The Real Reason Feedback Fails—and What Great Leaders Do Instead

    📥Download the Blog Summary & Contact Details: https://www.criticalfewactions.com.au/podcast/Linda-Murray-Feedback/ Most CEOs think they're giving helpful feedback. But in this episode, leadership expert Linda Murray reveals a tough truth: the problem isn’t what you say -it’s when and how you finally say it. This isn’t about better HR policy. It’s about creating cultures where courageous conversations fuel performance. If you're a founder, CEO, or exec of a growing business, you already know: performance conversations are some of the most uncomfortable -and most essential -moments in leadership. But too often, these conversations happen late, badly, or not at all. And when they do? They confuse rather than clarify. They can also lead you to FairWork! In this deeply insightful and practical episode, Linda Murray - executive coach to hundreds of senior leaders - breaks down why performance conversations fail, and how you can build a culture where feedback becomes growth, not grief. What You’ll Learn: = Why silence is not kind -it’s unclear (and unkind) = How to ditch the feedback sandwich and use "feed forward" instead = What great leaders do to build psychological safety and trust = The 3+1 method that makes feedback part of daily culture = How to lead tough conversations without losing your humanity Episode Highlights: 00:00 – The Pitfalls of Telling vs. Teaching 03:17 – The Fear of Performance Conversations 04:43 – New Hires & The Probation Mistake 06:51 – The Feedback Sandwich: Why It Fails 13:32 – Building Psychological Safety with FAIR 18:32 – Creating a No Surprises Culture 23:45 – Making Feedback a Daily Habit 24:24 – How to Use “Three Plus One” 26:03 – Frequency Beats Formality 27:18 – Self-Reflection for Leaders 28:18 – Leading Through Underperformance 32:12 – Step Back: The Grandstand Perspective 33:53 – The Hardest Feedback Linda Ever Received 44:23 – The CriticalFewActions for Every CEO Sponsor This episode is sponsored by the CEO Masterclass in Strategic Planning & Implementation.

Don’t wait for the perfect words. Don’t wait for a crisis. Performance conversations should be frequent, forward-focused, and kind through clarity. Want help creating a culture where feedback is safe, effective, and part of your daily rhythm? 𝑷𝑺:: If you avoid the conversation, you avoid the growth.

The Hard Truth About Business Exits & Legacy Wealth Most businesses aren’t built to sell. Will yours survive without you? In this episode, I sit down with Jacqui Clarke, one of Australia’s most sought-after personal and business wealth advisors. She shares a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how a 100-year-old family business navigated the complex journey of exiting for just under $200 million. This conversation is essential for CEOs and business owners who are serious about making their business independent, maximising its value, and ensuring a smooth exit. What You’ll Learn: ✅ Why most business exits fail – and how to avoid the common pitfalls. ✅ How to make your business ‘exit ready’ – even if you never plan to sell. ✅ The critical role of independent leadership & governance in business longevity. ✅ Managing family dynamics & decision-making in multi-generational businesses. ✅ The reality of due diligence – and how to survive the most intense phase of a sale.

Are you a business owner or CEO striving to elevate your business to new heights? But right now… you’re not hitting the targets or objectives your business needs to achieve. Or maybe you’ve hit a roadblock you can’t move past—a major challenge with no clear solution; and there’s no one in your world you can talk to about it. I get it. Running a business at the top level can feel like you’re isolated. You’re expected to have all the answers—but what if you don’t? The truth is, at our level, our role isn’t to have all the answers ourselves—it’s to find the right people who do. People who have faced these obstacles before and have the real-world experience to guide you and your team forward. That’s why I created the CEO Masterclass—a 12-month, Deakin University MBA-accredited program designed exclusively for business owners and CEOs who are serious about transforming their businesses. With 30+ years in business, working with hundreds of companies from $1 million to $100+ million turnover across three continents, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges leaders face—and I’ve helped them break through and achieve real results. This isn’t another generic leadership course. It’s a highly focused, small-group program where you’ll work alongside your peers, on your business, break through barriers, and implement real-world strategies—not just to solve the problems holding your business back, but to accelerate your growth faster than you thought possible.
