Do you receive feedback?

Riyadh Salih Saskatchewan, Canada

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?

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.

Agree with Dinah (retrospective) and Rajesh (active listening skills). Would add that looking for mentors is also a good ways to increase your feedback level. Avoid looking at FB likes as feedback.

Thomas, thanks for your comment I thought that retrospective only done in agile /scrum set up, I haven't seen it done in our normal Project Management ( waterfall)

Sometimes you need to pursue this yourself to receive feedback. If you wait to receive feedback from others then you probably won’t receive feedback all the time.

Rami, you are absolutely right it looks like we need to push for it in some places otherwise it will just pass like that without.

Ken Blanchard said that "Feedback is the breakfast of champions"
Independently from your company official feedbacks to your team members, if you want your project team to excel and become champions, you should provide them with frequent specific high-quality "breakfast" feedback.

Ken, thanks for your contribution looks like a good omelette will do the trick :) but yeah you're absolutely right or at least weekly / monthly it should be there.

Ruth, yes you're right few managers doesn't know the value of their key players, due to lack of training or negativity with their personality. and I see in many places our patience has been tested

Feedback & coaching should be given immediately at the moment a behavior happens. If you are not getting any feedback then you can ask for it after a 'performance'. For example, a presentation to the Steering Committee has just been completed and a trusted co-worker is in attendance, then you can ask him/her for honest feedback on the presentation.

Kandie, that's a good idea after presentation to evaluate the impact on the audience for future improvement
