Reflecting on Feedback

Spend some time reflecting on what you have learned about feedback - both receiving and giving. 

What was new, what was surprising, what you already knew? 

Radical Candor is new to me. However, the description of behaviours, I am familiar with.

It's communication and not a conversation.

What could you apply straightaway? And what would require some practice?

I tend to try and find the right words (that tends to drag things out). Using something like BSI and getting ready beforehand will certainly help with delivery.

What would you like to change in the way how you receive and give feedback?

I've appreciate honest feedback. I endeavour to do the same (for the person I provide feedback to). This has not changed except perhaps delivery (using BSI feedback guidance).

What else did you learn? What would you like the world to know about feedback?

Ask for permission to give feedback. No everyone is interested in feedback or want it. If they agree, that already opens the door better communication. If they say no, then let it go (and try another avenue).
