Feedback on your feedback
It's useful to know how your team feel about your feedback and intervention in their decision making. What do they think you could do better?
Ask your team, “do you think you get the right balance of support and challenge from me?”, or “how could I improve the feedback I give you?”
Newer team members may be reluctant to answer this one: encourage openness by sharing examples of what you’ve learned, and how you’ve changed, from when you’ve asked people this question before.
Don’t force the issue - you can always ask again in a month or two if someone doesn’t want to share today.
