The Concept of Giving Feedback

 by Dr. Rodolfo John Ortiz Teope

“We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.”– Bill Gates 

Feedback is a manner that necessitates relentless consideration. If there is something that needs to be comprehended, say it. The aspect of giving and receiving feedback is a topic that is very crucial nowadays. The contentions for pervasive truthfulness and unvarnished and unavoidable straightforwardness have a strut to the organizational members. As though, to infer that the fearless of us can confront these certainties with fierce confidence (Bencherki  & Cooren, 2013). Likewise, those of us who pull back at the consideration of going to work in an environment of persistent perceptiveness are sentence to patchiness. And as managers, we can observe our subordinates unequivocally in the eye and spread out their issues without flickering measure our managerial veracity (Nieuwenhuis, 2007).

The act of giving and receiving feedback is a skill. And like all skills, it takes preparation and run-through to make it beneficial. Hence, there is a need to remind ourselves why I am doing it. The rationale of giving and receiving feedback is to improve the organizational condition or the subordinate productivity by not being harsh, precarious, and offensive (Carpenter et al., 2010).  When I give feedback, the moral rule is to flinch off with a touch of positivity. This comfort lay the personnel at ease. It will also allow them to visualize what productivity looks like and what steps are needed to take next time to correct the blunders committed. I always end on implying motivation. Otherwise, they may feel downhearted and insignificant (Bencherki  & Cooren, 2013).

Be that as it may, best-case scenario, this engrossment with feedback is beneficial for remedying blunders and errors in the uncommon situations where the correct measures are established and can appraise accurately. Furthermore, it is lethal because what we need from our subordinates and ourselves is not a considerable observance to an approach settled upon ahead of time or, besides, the capacity to uncover every shortcoming. It’s that organizational members play a part in their peculiar distinctive and flourishing ability to a collective advantage, when that advantage is progressing, when we are, for all the veracious thoughts, crafting it upward as we move all along. Thus, feedback has nothing to bring to the table on that premise (Daellenbach et al., 2012).

At this premise! Managers and subordinates are human beings. Thus, it is vital to give importance to feedbacks. The personnel does not perform well when there is an individual whose intentions are ambiguous. It conveys to the members of the organization.  Where to stand? How does the personnel work? And what they must do to fix themselves? The organization produces qualitative and quantitative outputs.  No more than when the manager cares about subordinates express (Nieuwenhuis, 2007).  About their experience, viewpoint, and care for the organization. In particular, when they can make feedbacks within the organization that produces positive results.
