About this listen
When Silence Sounds Like Failure
In this episode, I explore how the absence of feedback can be just as damaging as dishonesty — and why silence, particularly for high performers, often sounds like failure.
Drawing on lessons from UK Special Forces, naval training, and leadership coaching, I explain why even elite performers sometimes withdraw — not because they’re failing, but because they think they are.
We’ll also explore:
- The danger of assuming people “just know” they’re doing well
- How a few words of encouragement can make the difference between retention and resignation
- A practical method for delivering balanced, honest feedback
If you lead people — or want to be led well — this one’s for you.
