In order to provide truly effective feedback, it must also be constructive. In other words, telling an employee “Good job!” might let the employee know you are pleased with them, but it does not give that employee any specifics regarding the behavior(s) for which theyâ€
re being praised. The same is true when constructive criticism (negative feedback) lacks specifics or is delivered improperly.
Instructions
Review the following resources:
Youâ€ve been doing a fantastic job. Just one thing…. Tugend, A. (2013, Apr 5). nytimes.com.How to give feedback to defensive employees. Reh, F.J. (2019, Jan 20). thebalancecareers.com.
After you have finished your review, reflect on the differences and similarities in providing feedback to individuals as compared to teams. Consider how the feedback might change from an informal setting to the formal setting of a performance appraisal. Think about the feedback you have received over the years, and how it was delivered. Which type of feedback did you receive well, and which type left you confused, defensive, or angry?Create a presentation to post in the Discussion Board containing four (4) slides that address effective vs. ineffective feedback. In this presentation, show the following:
- A slide showing an example of non-constructive feedback to an employee presented in an informal setting (such as on the floor, in the break room, or over lunch)
- A slide showing an example of constructive feedback presented to an employee in an informal setting
- A slide showing an example of non-constructive feedback presented to an employee in a formal setting (such as an individual performance review)
- A slide showing an example of constructive feedback to an employee presented in a formal setting
The examples of feedback in this assignment should be caricatures of actual feedback; examples demonstrating exaggerated and/or funny characteristics that point out big differences between constructive and non-constructive feedback. Do not use any crude language in your examples but do have fun with this assignment!
