As a result, people do not learn how their behavior affects others and how they might interact more effectively. We only give feedback during annual performance appraisals. We only give feedback when something is wrong. We are embarrassed to share negative feedback and afraid we will hurt their feelings by being direct. We are afraid that the other person will become defensive or adversarial.
Effective feedback is feedback that empowers the other person to learn and grow.
After responding to these questions, identify one or two organizational or personal factors that have the greatest negative impact on your willingness or comfort in giving feedback to others. Brainstorm a list of strategies or solutions for overcoming the negative effect of these factors and increasing your willingness and comfort at giving feedback to others. Make a plan of action to implement the strategies or solutions you have identified.
