Feedback Strategies
The article written by Adam Grant titled, "How to Give Bad Feedback without being a Jerk" mentions unique point in how a reader can leave a writer in a manner that the writer can seek better improvement. One main role in giving feedback is explaining why you are giving feedback. This allows the writer to not feel "attacked" and makes them feel ensured in a way. Another key feature you have to think of phycologically is to not put yourself above the writer in order not make him/her feel inferior. Aside from the details mentioned in the article, another way I found out through personal experience is that sometimes asking the writer questions will help the writer get into a brainstorming environment, thus allowing him to answer the original question and even have a chance at improvement with better ideas.
Many people do not know their potential abilities, whether it is writing, athletics and or etc. Sometimes people require that extra push or extra encouragement, instead of constructive criticism. The article written by Marshall Goldsmith titled, "Try Feedfoward Insead of Feedback", talks about an essential skill that many leaders require. The article explains how informing people of their ability to do a job or a task is part of the path off achieving goals. A leader carries a role of telling their peers of their performance. The role of a leadership comes with great responsibility. Marshall Goldsmith talks about how people always focus on the past and what has already been done, instead of talking about how we can improve going forward, and learning from mistakes. Just like feedback, feeding forward can greatly improves ones ability, confidence and many more. The overall goal of feedforward is to be make a positive escalation by maintaining a positive mindset.
