Everyone loves to be praised and to be confirmed. Who doesn‘t like to be praised? With criticism, on the other hand, it’s different.

If someone explicitly asks for permission to give you feedback, he doesn‘t just want to praise, he mostly wants to criticize.

But criticism questions our selfesteem. It triggers our defense mechanisms, because we believe our reputation is in danger. Actually, we want to be praised, but not judged.

In this video I give you my No 1 feedback tip for constructive and effective feedback:

Constructive feedback for managers: The No 1 feedback rule:

"Feedback is a gift!"

"A feedback often says more about the person giving the feedback than about the person being criticized.“

So, if you listen well, you at least learn something about the other person's point of view.

Always keep in mind, if you do so: "If you understand the other person that doesn‘t mean that you agree!"
