Your team want to know where they are doing well (or not so well), and to feel you care deeply about their professional development. Feedback tells whether them whether are on track – or need to make adjustments to perform better and realise their potential.
The problem is managers are often not confident in how to give – or receive – feedback to others in a way that can be heard, understood and most importantly properly acted upon.
Either feedback is given as a broad “well done” leaving the receiver wondering what specifically they did right, or where feedback is critical, the message inadvertently provokes shame and shutdown.
Neuroscience is enlightening us as to why receiving feedback can provoke negative reactions, and gives us new tools to do it in a way that feels positive and caring for the receiver – and achieves far better outcomes for individuals and teams.
