Giving feedback - a management training course

More people are looking for help in how to Give Feedback  than any other specific people skill – according to our Search Engine statistics.  This is obviously because it’s one of the most difficult things to do successfully.


Why is giving feedback so difficult?  Here’s why:

  • Few people can receive negative feedback without being put on the defensive, because even when it’s justified the way most of us do it feels like an attack.
  • When someone feels attacked it’s only natural to be defensive.
  • But that makes it even harder to “get through” to them.
     

So how might we help?  By teaching you how to give honest feedback that doesn’t  feel like an attack.  Does that mean you have to go around being soft on people?  Not at all – in fact you’ll be able to give very tough feedback successfully once you know how.


But how can you be sure this training in how to give feedback successfully is for you?
