The Rohit Gautam Show
Business. Leadership. The Human Mind.
I am Rohit Gautam. Leadership coach, podcast host, and someone who has spent years studying what separates good leaders from great ones.
This channel explores three things:
1. How businesses actually grow, compete, and fail
2. How the best leaders think, decide, and operate under pressure
3. The psychology behind why smart people do what they do
Two formats:
Solo episodes (10-15 min): I take one idea and break it down. No filler. Just the insight and what you can do with it.
Conversations (30-45 min): Deep interviews with founders, executives, coaches, and psychologists who have built something real.

Leaders are doing FEEDBACK WRONG!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why Most Leaders Fail at Giving Feedback
Researchers analysed 600+ studies and found that feedback made performance worse 1 in 3 times. Not neutral. Worse.
In this episode, I break down the three specific ways feedback fails and share a simple framework (T-F-F: Timing, Focus, Feedforward) that changes how leaders communicate.
What you will learn:
• Why your brain cannot process feedback under stress
• The difference between feedback that describes behaviour and feedback that attacks identity
• Marshall Goldsmith's feedforward method, tested on 1 million+ leaders
