In the fast-paced corporate world, the ability to provide and receive feedback effectively can make or break a team's success.
Our
"Feedback as a Management Tool" workshop is designed to help leaders harness the power of feedback to drive productivity and empower their teams.
Let's explore how this course can transform your leadership style and organisational culture through practical examples and insights...
Understanding Feedback:
Feedback is the lifeblood of a thriving workplace. Imagine Sharon, a marketing manager at a mid-sized firm. She holds annual performance reviews but often overlooks daily informal feedback. Over time, her team starts feeling undervalued and disconnected from their progress. Our workshop teaches leaders like Jane to recognise the significance of both formal and informal feedback, ensuring continuous improvement and engagement.
Example: In our sessions, you'll learn how to balance structured reviews with spontaneous praise or constructive criticism, just like tech giant Google, which attributes part of its success to a robust feedback culture.
The Impact of Timing on Feedback:
Consider the case of Darron, a project leader at a software company. He waits until project completion to provide feedback, missing crucial opportunities for real-time improvement. Our workshop emphasises the importance of timely feedback, akin to how successful sports coaches offer immediate guidance to adjust strategies on the fly.
Real-World Insight: Studies have shown that employees are 30% more engaged when they receive regular feedback. By learning to provide feedback promptly, like in agile tech teams, you can significantly enhance your team's performance and morale.
Bidirectional Feedback:
Feedback shouldn't be a one-way street. Let's look at Nonoza, a recent client and a senior executive who realized that her team rarely offered her feedback. After attending our workshop, she learned to create an open dialogue environment. By encouraging her team to provide upward feedback, she discovered new insights and fostered a more inclusive atmosphere.
Example: Just like at Netflix, where leaders actively seek and value employee input, you'll learn to build a culture where feedback flows both ways, enhancing trust and collaboration.
Overcoming Personal Resistance to Feedback:
Negative feedback can be tough. Take the example of Jerome, a sales manager who dreaded giving critical feedback, leading to unresolved issues and declining performance. Our course offers strategies to handle negative feedback constructively, transforming it into a growth opportunity.
Real-World Application: Imagine using tools and techniques to deliver difficult feedback gracefully, similar to how effective leaders at Amazon manage high standards and continuous improvement.
Communication Tips for Effective Feedback:
Effective feedback requires clear and assertive communication. Picture Rondo, a team leader who struggled with being either too harsh or too vague. Through our workshop, she learned to use assertiveness tools to deliver feedback that was both kind and clear, significantly boosting her team's morale and performance.
Learn to communicate feedback as a successful leader who is known for their balance of empathy and clarity, ensuring feedback is heard, understood, and acted upon. How? Well, keep reading...
