How do you give feedback effectively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/feedback-in-the-workplace\/\">feedback in the workplace<\/a> is crucial to the ongoing development of employees. It helps employees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/build-confidence-and-destroy-fear\/\">build confidence<\/a> and identify areas where they need to improve. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/effective-feedback-in-the-workplace\/\">Effective feedback<\/a> is ignores the discomfort that comes with telling others they are not performing to the required standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to master the art of giving feedback in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Receiving and Giving Feedback in the Workplace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, when giving feedback in the workplace, people are polite, but dishonest. Their argument is that giving polite feedback is the nice thing to do\u2014but the real motive isn\u2019t so altruistic. In fact, people give polite feedback because it\u2019s easier and more comfortable for <em>them<\/em>. Dishonesty allows them to avoid the discomfort of telling someone they\u2019re not performing to their standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Giving feedback in the workplace that is dishonest but polite is unkind because it\u2019s unfair\u2014the recipient receives no indication that they need to improve, yet they\u2019re held accountable for their lack of improvement. Moreover, it wastes time and creates frustration as the same unaddressed problems continue to crop up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The natural remedy to this issue is to start giving direct, honest feedback. Be aware that prioritizing honesty when giving feedback in the workplace might be a difficult adjustment to your team if you\u2019ve created a culture where polite but dishonest feedback is the norm. To avoid having your team shut down or get defensive in response to this new type of feedback, volunteer yourself as the first honest feedback recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go into this first feedback session with two goals in mind: to model a thoughtful response to hard feedback and demonstrate honest feedback\u2019s productive outcome. You can open the feedback session by asking your team how you can better lead them. They will likely default to \u201cnice and polite,\u201d so be prepared to suggest areas of improvement and ask about their experiences working with you\u2014ask for specifics, and keep pushing until you receive an honest answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When receiving and giving feedback in the workplace, your session should have four parts: 1) be curious, 2) take a step back, 3) question your motives, and 4) share your thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Be curious.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to get defensive and push back or shut down when hearing about your problems. Resist this instinct by asking for clarification.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Take a step back.<\/strong> Ask for time away to think about what\u2019s been said, consider how it\u2019s made you feel, and figure out what the root of the issue might be. Be careful in how you present your need for some space. Many people speed through the discomfort of negative feedback, wrapping up the conversation with a vague and dismissive \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll think about that.\u201d Knowing this, you can avoid sending a dismissive message by clarifying that you want time to think through the problem so you can come back and continue the conversation with your findings.<\/li><li><strong>Question your motives. <\/strong>Ask yourself what could be motivating your behavior\u2014what is the <em>real<\/em> problem?<\/li><li><strong>Share your thoughts. <\/strong>Come back to the team and share your thoughts. This is an especially vulnerable step\u2014it\u2019s difficult to expose the emotional issues causing your behavior. It would be much easier and more comfortable to put the blame elsewhere, but your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/brave-leadership\/\">brave leadership<\/a> role is to be as honest as possible. Exposing the root of the problem allows your team to help you think of productive solutions.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example: Feedback on Time Management Skills&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your team tells you that you lack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-manage-time-efficiently\/\">time management skills<\/a> and that you keep asking your team to accomplish projects on impossible deadlines. You ask them to tell you more about how your tight deadlines affect them and their work, and take notes. You thank them and ask for a follow-up meeting the next day after you\u2019ve had some time to think. In your follow-up meeting, you share your insight: when you set tight deadlines, you are usually feeling anxiety that a competitor will \u201cdo it first,\u201d and you are thinking of multiple projects and deadlines that you haven\u2019t communicated to your team. The problem isn\u2019t time management\u2014it\u2019s anxiety and lack of communication. Your team comes up with a solution\u2014when new projects are put on the table, everyone writes down how long they think the project will take and how it should be prioritized alongside current projects. They then share their estimates as a group and create deadlines and priorities that work for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is giving feedback in the workplace important?
