Feedback-timely, specific, two-way feedback is among the most effective communications tools we possess. And while we all possess the ability to master the art of giving effective feedback, most of us have not developed the skills necessary to do so. And we lack the skills because most of us don't actually know what the elements of effective feedback are. Feedback Revolution was created to remedy that situation, and to remedy in an enjoyable, inviting and above all, practical way. The book was written to give you the tools you will need to create a feedback revolution in your organization. The purpose is to clear away the fog and misunderstandings that surround feedback as typically practiced and replace them with clarity, tools, and techniques for putting real feedback in place in your organization. Feedback Revolution rests upon experience, observation and research-every tip, tool or tactic presented has been tested in business and has demonstrated consistent effectiveness in the real world.
