Feedback is supposed to do exactly that: ‘feed’ someone ‘back’ so they can grow and develop. It’s healthy food for healthy and successful relationships – both at work and at home!
How we give and receive feedback has a huge impact on how we:
- Build trusting relationships
- Motivate our team
- Prevent a potential conflict and manage an existing one
- Turn a potentially difficult (or at least uncomfortable) conversation into a productive, solution-oriented one
- Build our professional profile as a trusted, respected professional or leader
In this episode, we will look at how we can receive feedback from others productively and, most importantly, how to keep the dialogue open and oriented towards collaborative solutions.
