Talent Management Truths
How to Help Leaders Give Honest Feedback with Abby Hamilton
“I think the most important thing is that people just want to know the truth most of the time, even if that truth might sting a little bit at the moment."
-Abby Hamilton
How do you prepare your organization’s leaders to give feedback well? Do your leaders do a good job with feedback? Or do they struggle - either because their heads are in the sand or because they are being too directive? In today’s episode, my guest shares her views on the importance of supporting leaders, especially new ones, to give feedback in a way that builds trust.
My guest is Abby Hamilton. Abby is the Chief People Officer at LiveIntent, a leading people-based marketing platform. In her role, she oversees a wide range of human resources functions including recruitment, performance evaluation, cultural transformation, employee engagement, leadership coordination, professional development, HR information systems, succession planning, and leveraging data for strategic decision-making. Abby's leadership extends across LiveIntent's two R&D centers in Europe and its New York headquarters, emphasizing the integration of data science, engineering, revenue, and marketing to enhance organizational effectiveness.
With 20 years of experience in recruiting and HR, Abby has spearheaded People teams within the advertising technology, marketing technology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices sectors. Her approach focuses on developing innovative, practical solutions to talent acquisition challenges, establishing globally consistent programs, and collaborating with company leaders to encourage employees to excel.
