A follow up on the last post on feedback. This time, written from the perspective of giving feedback. Read the first one here -raunakcha.substack.com/p/becoming-a-pro-feedback-receiver
Hello Raunak, thanks for your interesting blog and especially about this article. When I was reading it, I started to think also how important it would be for both giver and receiver to understand why feedback is given, what is the purpose of it. Just thinking that if they have really different expectations, the feedback could be for nothing, because both of them might be confused or missing the point of the feedback. Like you are writing here about graphic design. Personally I have no competence of giving feedback about that, but Im quite good at giving feedback e.g. about presenting. But someone who have had earlier only feedback about graphic design, might become really frustrated with my feedback because of their previous experiences if we do not discuss first together about the purpose of that specific feedback. Im not sure if I can write my idea clearly enough, but Im sure you got it <3
Yup. I get what you mean, Ulla. Thank you for pointing that out. Definitely worth spending some time to make sure both the giver and receiver of the feedback are on the same page about the purpose of the feedback is. When I think about this, the structure of feedback outlined here might also help figure out how helpful the feedback might have been for receiver. The “Intention of Action” would be the “why” of the feedback, “Action” would be the the feedback itself and the “Outcome” would be the changes made by the feedback receiver in their own performance.
