Manager Tools - Feedback

Effective managers talk to their team about their performance frequently. Like, daily. Many managers avoid feedback because they don't know what to say, or they're worried it'll become a "heavy, deep and real" conversation. Feedback can be quick, light and effective. In this feed, we give you all the guidance you need to start and continue giving Feedback effectively. Manager Tools is a weekly business podcast focused on helping professionals become more effective managers and leaders. Each week, we discuss specific actions for professionals to take to achieve their desired management and career objectives. Manager Tools won Best Business Podcast Award in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2012 as well as the People's Choice Award in 2008. The Business Podcast Award is now named after Manager Tools.

Feedback - Revisited

We've gotten a great many questions, comments, and kudos for our show in July on the Feedback Model. Many listeners are discovering the power of feedback, of taking it out of the realm of the rare and into the stream of the every day. Not to sound repetitive, but most managers see feedback as akin to holding their breath - waiting as long as possible, and then creating a lot of sound and often fury. The Feedback Model tells us to see feedback like breathing - so regular as to become unnoticed.
