Feedback, Praise and Appreciation

I generally thought that feedback either positive or negative, and giving positive feedback is a good thing for the receiver. Today we learned that it is not the case. First of all there are many kinds of feedback but most important is that does feedback makes sense or not. Feedback should include observations also, what happen to me while you were delivering the task, what I needed. In other words; actions taken to increase well- being of the organization, feelings for fulfilling the needs, and needs that are fulfilled.  In order to a feedback to be more effective judgement should be eliminated-as in the earlier posts mentioned-
Also there are some issues to be considered;

  • Praising work, not people
  • Make praise as specific as possible
  • Being genuine and unconditional
  • Avoiding praise that sets up competition- meaning praising someone in private. I experienced public praise and it was uncomfortable for me, and I was an intern and the other person with us was a full-time worker there.
