How to Give & Receive Effective Feedback
In this audio presentation delivered to a group of Young Professionals at MHI, hear Laura discuss the following key points about giving and receiving feedback effectively:
- Effective Feedback is a powerful means of helping individuals learn and grow by improving their behavior.
- Reinforcing feedback (when delivered specifically and sincerely) is very important and is often underestimated in terms of its impact on an organization’s culture.
- Effectively delivered developmental feedback can lead to stronger relationships, improved performance, and a more robust healthy company culture.
- We all have emotional reactions to feedback. By understanding other peoples’ reactions to feedback and by managing ourselves, we can become more effective at giving and receiving feedback.
- Feedback is appropriate at all levels of an organization and is not just reserved for performance problems or formal performance appraisal conversations.
