I read The Difference Between Praise and Feedback and How to Give Bad Feedback WithoutBeing a Jerk. I read these after I got some pointers from the Feedback Gallery.
I have to say I never thought about these things when I would give people
feedback. When I was looking at the Feedback Gallery, I learned a lot about how
to point things out that do not make sense. Usually I would just leave it at
that is awful or great when I looked at someone’s creation or work. I think
being able to point out the whys to my comments to be quite helpful. I might
not be right but at least they will understand where I am coming from when I
give that opinion. When I read the article The Difference Between Praise and
Feedback I kind of learned that just pointing out the good things someone does hinders
their growth. I have always believed that growth comes through challenges and
adversity. They mainly spoke unto parents raising children where this topic is
most influential, but I also feel it is relative to those older that are looking
to help others grow. Lay back on the praise, looking for the holes which you
could poke into their work or areas at which the person could improve. The
article How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk I found to be really
helpful towards myself. I have a problem with being blunt sometimes and I think
being able to tell someone that improvement needs to be made while not entirely
ruining that person’s morale to be vital. I learned that first you must establish
if this person wants honest feedback. If they do, then you are able to give
them your opinion from your perspective explaining yourself the best you can to
let them know why you feel the way you do. You must get off your high horse and
talk to them as someone you want to see succeed. Feedback is vital for growth,
that is why I feel it is important that one is always looking for it. One must
take the good with the bad feedback and see where they can improve.
