How to give Feedback

From Criticism to Effective Feedback

How managers can grow their staff through performance appraisals

Can you tick any of these points:

• One of the worst parts of my job as a manager is doing the performance appraisals of my staff
• I avoid and put off performance appraisal meetings as much as possible
• I fear hurting the others persons feelings when I need to give them criticism of their work
• I hate confrontation – it always leads to conflict, which I avoid at all costs
• As much as I try, I just don’t seem to be able to get through to some staff about how they need to improve their performance on their job
• My staff either argue with me, don’t say a word or cry when I give them criticism about their work
• I wish I was more effective at giving feedback to my employees.

If so, know that in this programme, I coach you and teach you:

• to give performance appraisals effectively and not hate doing them
• for an empowering attitude about the whole performance appraisal process
• about how to give feedback that opens a person up to growth and wanting more useful feedback
• about emotional intelligence, empowerment, and your best states
• for an enhanced map about conflict, relationships with staff, connection, cooperation, and working with and through people

My Feedback Program is designed to give you theory to have the understanding of communication skills in giving feedback, coaching to overcome any blocks holding you back from being your best in giving appraisals of others’ work, and practical application to help you apply the best practices in giving feedback, into your style of managing.
