This collection of some of our best podcast episodes from the last 12 months, handpicked by our own podcast team leader, will both educate and delight you.

I listen to a lot of podcasts as the host of the Salesforce podcast Blazing Trails and the company's podcasting activities. I'm not the only one that thinks this way. According to The Infinite Dial, about 80 million Americans – or 28% of the adult population in the United States – currently listen to weekly podcasts, up 17% from 2020. As we lived our lives isolated at home, last year's list highlighted connectedness to the outside world. The best episodes this year deal with the uncertainty that lies ahead. The future of work, as well as a new Digital HQ and sustainability as a competitive advantage, are all discussed. The best podcasts of 2021 focus on the opportunities given by this watershed moment in history. Visit here to know more about our Salesforce Courses In Pune.

1. Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall discuss the fallacy of feedback:

"I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some input..." It's a phrase we hear all the time. To our direct reports, coworkers, employers, and customers, we say it. We believe that feedback is essential for our personal and professional development, but what if we told you that the way we think about, deliver, and receive feedback is completely incorrect?

The co-authors of "Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader's Guide to the Real World," Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall, have spent years researching the influence (or lack thereof) of feedback on team success. They've got some bad news for us: feedback doesn't make you grow. They address the myth of feedback and how managers should engage with their teams to enable meaningful growth in this talk.
