Overview
One area consistently gives both managers and employees difficulty – the need to give and accept effective feedback.
The problem is that giving effective feedback is one of the most crucial elements you can to do help employees improve performance. It establishes a connection between what employees are doing and how actions are perceived by others. Surprisingly for some…..
….feedback is not about dishing out criticism!
Unfortunately, this often proves to be the case when managers find themselves under pressure. It is at these times that emotions can get in the way of effective management.
Feedback is a crucial business skill. Without feedback, individuals and teams may remain unaware of the value they add to an organisation, what they do well (so that they can do more of it) and what they need to change in order to perform to a higher level within their roles.
When delivered with competence and confidence, even the most difficult of feedback conversations can have a hugely positive impact on motivation and performance. This course will enable participants to develop the competence and confidence that will enable them to deliver great feedback, no matter what the situation!
