Three of the most common preconceived notions are: 1) the feedback conversation is going to be long and drawn out; 2) the feedback needs to be perfect; and 3) the feedback might be taken the wrong way.

Agendas are an important first step in a successful meeting, but far too few leaders give them enough thought.
