At time of school we get the marks and even in university we get the marks but very rare we get a feedback from teacher/ professors and same carried over in professional life with the job having a manager with out feedback!
How do you feel about feedback and how can we make a change to receive feedback to improve further? Saving Changes...

I are accord with Andrew Craig. Sometimes the feedback in all moment, it could be insecurity, manager with corrects idea about you personal. Because always not we can building relationship 1:1 with our managers. But we are professionals and can learn every day with effort so much.
Some manager don't know the value of you keys employees.
As professionals we have the compromise of offers mutual help and sharing of knowledgment.

Feedback is good and can help to ensure we are satisfying expectations while accelerating. That said, what feedback are we speaking of? Certainly, cannot expect feedback at every turn. We are professionals, with an expectation to have an amount of confidence in our work. One potential medium for feedback is to set up a recurring (monthly) 1:1 with your manager. Great opportunity to build a relationship, ensure efforts are adding the value you think they are or want them to, or learn of new initiatives for possible extracurricular achievements.

Andrew, that's a good way to get 1 on 1 to have a good manager to provide support but unfortunately in reality most of the time I am afraid to say so "we deal with Jerks".

Hi,
That's really interesting, I remember one of my teachers in the master, she is called Lynda Bourne. I remember we made exercises to coach and manage people. I think the feedback could be considered as an art, the same feedback but in the right way, with the right words, is really difficult to do, but with the right training you can achieve that skill.
In my opinion, I prefer to receive the feedback no matter the way, but with honest. The project managers might be always open to receive feedback and manage their own emotions.

Jesus, good contribution that was really lucky to have teacher like that,
We need to separate feedback from formal evaluation. The latter is mechanical, policy-based and usually unpleasant to both manager and direct report. The former should be in the moment, frequent, and comfortable.

Kiron, thanks for your contribution any feedback should add value to the PM to look for future corrective action if needed or to improve on one area of concern.

If you have a Lessons Learned or Sprint Retrospective it can be a good time to give and solicit feedback. It must be in a constructive manner.
I have also felt that there should be a way for employees to submit some feedback to the manager's manager during the formal review process. This can be in the simple format of what does my manager do well, what can they improve. This would not go directly to the manager, but will be filtered by their manager. This is not also a full 360 degree review process, just input.

Good points, Dinah. Having the opportunity for a true two-way feedback loop can provide significant alien return to the organization - only if kept professional and constructive. Our team retrospectives are greatly beneficial. A necessary consideration is the importance of creating a safety-zone for individuals to feel able to provide honest feedback.

Dinah, thanks for your feedback this type of thoughts could be dangerous I am afraid unless like Andrew said in a constructive way, because this might open new holes to bypass the manager and go directly to his manager, the chain of command will not be followed, few people are complainer or they just indulge in hearsay will take advantage of that.
I prefer that they discuss it first with the manager and if it is legitimate then just give time for the manager to correct if after that discussion and the promise to change or correct does not happen then escalate to second manager
