Giving feedback is a task you perform as a Manager or as a manager supervisor. And letting employees know where they
are and where to go next in terms of expectations and goals - yours, their own, and the organization is essential.
Feedback is a useful tool for indicating when things are going in the right direction or for redirecting problem performance or behavior. Since your objective in giving feedback is to provide guidance you will want to deliver it in a useful manner, either to support effective behavior or to guide someone back on track toward successful performance.
As managers, you should know that there's a world of difference between constructive feedback and personal criticism. It puts people's backs up when in the name of feedback they hear opinions, judgment, generalization, unsought advice, or questions implying criticism. This webinar will focus on learning ways to enable you to be much more specific, factual, and constructive with your feedback.
As a manager sometimes it’s your job to correct people. But you don’t like doing it because it makes you uncomfortable.
Sometimes you have to be tough with people, but you're not confident you can do it without offending them. In the past, you failed because your employees got defensive. You find it difficult to know just what to say to get the behavior or performance of your employee to change.
By attending this session you will learn how feedback and criticism can be more influential. You will learn how to balance praise with clear and constructive criticism.
