Feedback : A Powerful Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness (edX)

Feedback : A Powerful Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness (edX)

In most of the studies and literature on Organisational Behaviour, little has been said or written about feedback and its powerful impact. Because of its evaluative and corrective nature, it has a strong impact on the receiver's thoughts. There are two sides to every feedback situation: the giver and the receiver. It is critical to both give and receive feedback in order to improve and employee’s and a team's performance. When administered correctly, it has a significant influence.

Giving constructive and effective feedback is a skill that a leader should possess. The feedback should be methodical and actionable. It is giver’s ability and skill that makes a feedback acceptable and influential. It should be delivered in a way that encourages the receiver t> accept and improve the performance without any confusion and anger.
Receiving feedback, on the other hand, helps an individual to improve if accepted it in the right spirit. Every person in an organization should be aware of the importance of feedback. It is a skill that every team leader should master and put into practice. Receiving feedback demands some skills, a positive mindset, and a willingness to change. Receiving feedback is an attitude and a skill worth developing.
