Giving And Receiving Feedback

THE SECRET TO A CULTURE OF EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE
PRESENTED BY VIOLET DHU

“Feedback is the food of champions.” – Ken Blanchard

One of the most valuable interpersonal skills a person can have is the ability to deliver constructive and effective feedback. Feedback, performance reviews, disciplinary discussions and general evaluations are often some of the toughest of all conversations to have. Good leaders and managers are able to both give effective feedback and receive feedback on their own performance. They understand the importance of feedback in personal growth, professional development, improving employee engagement and in creating a great working environment.

Unfortunately many people avoid giving feedback, or give feedback poorly or in a negative way. And when we receive feedback, we react, reject it or take offense and we don’t see it as a learning opportunity. Giving feedback is one of the toughest conversations you will ever have to have. In this workshop you will learn how to give great feedback and deal with any disagreements with the feedback. You will learn a model to give proactive, timely, transparent and targeted feedback.
