Feedback is a gift.
It helps teams reflect, find solutions to pressing issues, and become more productive and thriving.
Yet, according to a 2016 PWC study, while the majority (75%) believe it's valuable, only 30% state they receive feedback regularly.
In my decade of supporting teams in organizations, I've learned that the biggest hurdle isn't the awareness.
It's the tools, the support, the reminder to make the feedback process a natural, and not awkward thing on top, which can easily make things worse.
That's why I've created this Feedback series for you. Below you will find my top 5 tools for successful feedback to help you integrate this wonderful process into your monthly, weekly, even daily work.
Scroll, pick, and enjoy!
