Should this be something like how to create the atmosphere and give Your message this way that could possibly encourage Your communication and work receivers to give You a criticism.

Looking forward to that!

“10. Solutions. Telling them where they’re going wrong is one thing, but giving them practical solutions, support, encouragement, suggestions and direction is another.”

True encounter. Is so common in real life, those giving feedback will just pointed out not only one but bunch of where went wrong, and will made you sound ” you are the one whom has created it ” blam bla..But, seldom then ended the feedack session with providing proctical solutions, suggestion and extra.My view, this will quickly boil the emotion of those suppose to ” receiving feedback” feel more like attact instead of feedback session.

I really feel to share this with some of those I know they are working in coorperate yet arent act like one :p…

Can I Craig? May be I shd give them a pointed up session and the solution is come to yr site, good? :)

Btw, will you share the ” receiving feedback ” soon?
can’t wait for that…

Thanks again

I'm looking for an email "accountability partner." Anyone interested. Someone to keep me on track and give me a little virtual pat on the back when it's deserved, maybe a virtual smack on the head when that's deserved and vice versa? <br/><br/>Thanks!

Feedback is so important but is so often given badly. Not everyone seems to understand that feedback should help make improvements in other's (and our) work, behaviour, etc. I really appreciate it when someone gives me feedback that helps me improve and I try to do the same for others. It's a great way to get better and better! More great advice – thanks. Feedback is so important but is so often given badly.

Generally workwise our assessment times (2x per year) are very constructive - but I feel some of our less efficent collegues could be approached in your constructive manner. <br/>Now I've just got to figure out how I can send everyone the link without offending what they think are excellent feed=back skills! <br/>HC Perfect thanks Craig!!

She actually told some of us "I am a bitch deal with it" She would ften tell us off (for any insignificant issue) in front of our fellor employees. We even had to do a harassment and code of ethics course again just because of her. It didn't help the issue and we got HR out to mediate. It helped for a while but she reverted so we would just keep out of her way. As we were all made redundant last November, it was a great shock when she gave me a hug and wished me well for my future. I am not sure if she has been successful in gaining new employment but she did have a horrible way of giving feedback. I do hope she has got herself a good job and is being nice to her fellow employees now.<br/><br/>Thanks for the extremely helpful information on how to deal with a mostly difficult situation.<br/><br/>Keep up the fabulous posts Craig<br/><br/>Michelle Hi Craig,

Quite positive, I've only been in my job for 7 months so it was the first one i've done with this employer, but they did say they have no regrets about hiring me... I thought that was a compliment!

I had been thinking about giving some feedback to a financial advisor who I went to see yesterday, but didn't know how! I was umming & arhhing (in my head) about what to say, so thank you for the practical guidlines. <br/><br/>Am sure they will help achieve a postive outcome for all concerned.<br/><br/>I didn't want to offend her, as overall she was very helpful, but just touched on a few areas which I thought was out of her area of expertise or concern. I have seen her before & yesterdays appt with my hubby was just supposed to be so we were all 'on the same page'. Only I felt she 'changed tak' a bit and as I said mentioned areas I didn't ask her to. <br/>Anyhow - sorry for the rant. I'll definetely follow your guidelines and keep it all positive and do it when I'm less emotional. Thanks.. <br/>Cheers ! M Okay Mr C H,
