As a manager, or someone who would like to be a manager, you鈥檒l also learn specifically what feedback is, how negative feedback is weighed more heavily than positive, and how positive feedback can super-charge behaviors such as creativity and teamwork. Giving feedback is a skill which develops over time. We give you a process you can use to improve your feedback skills and deliver it with confidence. You will find that there is a scientific basis for many of your observations and intuitions about feedback鈥攕uch as, it is hard to give correctly, people don鈥檛 like it, and more.
