Feedback
Today, we experienced the powerful of feedbacks and their importance. Personally, I believe that if accepted genuinely they can catalyse our improvements since they lead to reflection. Doing so, we can critically examine our performance appreciating what we did well and what we could do better.
However, in this light it seems crucial, not only accept feedback in order to grow faster and more effectively, but also is important to reflect on the approach used while we are giving feedback, since a negative approach could eliminate all of the benefits that come from the feedbacks. In fact, who gives feedback should consider the emotional aspect of the process, thus, effective leaders who want to enhance the capability of their team should capture this occasion as an opportunity for communicating with their followers understanding their needs and wants, and therefore to guide them towards better future performance. In my view, this could be considered as an opportunity for growing at both personal and professional level, in fact, reflecting and evaluating our performance is crucial for understanding where we are and where we want to be.
