Creating a trusting environment is key to dealing with feedback-resistant employees. Use constructive, specific feedback and encourage self-reflection. Offer support and resources, and lead by example to show your own willingness to accept feedback. Set clear expectations and the consequences of not meeting them. Patience and persistence can help build a culture where feedback is seen as a growth opportunity, fostering continuous improvement. 🌟
