The Art of Empowering Feedback
Feedback, when delivered well, is a gift – an investment in a person’s evolution. Feedback, in the ideal, should be empowering and motivational. How do we to do that? Fear of the other person’s reaction often makes us vague about what’s not working. Our frustration with the other person often causes us to deliver the feedback in harsh and critical ways that are hard for the other person to hear without becoming defensive or feeling demeaned.
