How to Maximize the Value of Feedback
Feedback fuels high performance, high engagement, and thriving. Unfortunately, most people and organizations think of feedback as criticism. Best-Self Feedback reminds us that recognition, encouragement, and conversations about observations are even more important than criticism and advice. To maximize the value of feedback, you and your team must go beyond critique and embrace feedback as an opportunity to learn, energize, and strengthen.
