Giving Feedback: Expert Solutions to Everyday Challenges

Easy used rules and tools for someone who wants a light version of feedback. One person found this helpful. Giving Feedback is a concise book on the topic of both receiving and giving feedback. It provides both facts and sample scenarios for when feedback should be given, how it can be given, what is good feedback and how it should be received. I found its insights on corrective feedback to be especially valuable and I loved the chart showing what is the easiest to most difficult aspects of a persons work to be influenced by management.

The weakest area of the book where the various forms it provided to prepare to give feedback including checklists, planning, figuring out if feedback is worth giving, etc. As a software development manager I work very closely with the CEO and manage a team of programmers, and I think these feedback forms would take too much time to fill out to be practical. The amount of time to prepare these forms in my opinion would discourage feedback.

I do think preparation is necessary, especially for corrective feedback, but maxims and a few checklists I believe would be more useful. Overall I am glad I have read the book and I will try to use some of the ideas that I learned from it. One of the hardest things to do in the business world is give effective feedback to a peer or subordinate. If you want a quick guide on how to handle this task more productively, the Pocket Mentor guide titled Giving Feedback: Giving Feedback - The Basics: This guide is 75 pages of core information focused squarely on giving and receiving feedback.

One of the most important things they cover is the difference between feedback, coaching, and performance evaluation. It's all to common for your boss to give you "feedback" when it's really a performance evaluation. They also talk about the level of difficulty when it comes to giving feedback to change a job skill versus addressing a personality characteristic.

It's much easier to effect a change on how someone does a particular task as opposed to someone's temper when dealing with a difficult customer. There are some good worksheets and checklists in the Tools chapter that can help formulate your thoughts and approach before you go diving headfirst into a confrontation that may not turn out well This is an ideal book for someone who's busy, doesn't have an abundance of time to read a full book, but honestly wants to improve in this area See all 3 reviews.
