Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that your job is going to school. You work as a student and your teachers are your bosses. How could you as an employee know if you are performing your work properly? The only way is that your bosses (teachers) provide feedback about how you are doing.

The same applies for a business. How can Ryan's employees know if they are doing their job well or not if Ryan decides not to provide feedback to them. They might be doing everything wrong and they wouldn't know, so they will not be able to correct their mistakes.
