Feb. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Many managers avoid delivering feedback to others because they find it to be awkward and difficult to do well. Giving Effective Feedback demonstrates that not only is feedback essential to an organization’s success, but it can actually be a straightforward and painless process. Giving Effective Feedback provides readers with a succinct, step-by-step guide to both conducting effective feedback sessions with colleagues and developing action plans to facilitate their subsequent growth. By learning how to conduct effective feedback and overcome the obstacles that often accompany it, managers can go on to instill cultures of feedback throughout their organizations.

Some tips for providing effective feedback include:

*Never fear giving feedback to others. Managers must always remember that effective feedback is essential to organizational success. To ensure their feedback is effective rather than offensive, managers must deliver it respectfully and with realistic expectations.

*Recognize when it is the right time to give feedback. The right time to deliver corrective feedback is when it is convenient to the recipient and when the manager has a solution that can easily improve the problematic behavior being discussed.

*Craft feedback sessions carefully beforehand. Managers can help make feedback discussions more pleasant and effective by carefully planning what will be discussed. During the actual discussion, they can create a comfortable atmosphere through body language and active listening.

*Anticipate potentially volatile feedback discussions and plan accordingly. When conducting feedback discussions with shy, defensive, or even top-performing people, managers must be patient, have what they want to say written out, and offer plenty of opportunities for recipients to express their own opinions.

*Weave feedback into the workplace culture. The more commonplace feedback is in an organization, the more comfortable employees will be receiving and implementing it. To create this kind of open culture, managers must deliver positive and corrective feedback on a regular basis.
