Feedback Strategies
The Difference Between Praise and Feedback
This is the first article I read and it was very eye opening to me, as it said to focus more on "process praise" which is the effort that was put into the action, instead of "person praise" which praises just a characteristic of the person. The article goes on to say that the good feedback is encouraging, helpful, and specific. So, instead of just saying "good job", say "I liked how you incorporated X into your story, but I wish you could clear up Y about Z". This way the person receiving the feedback is not bogged down by the negative, but instead is motivated by the new ideas they have to better their work.
How to Provide Great Feedback when You're Not in Charge
This article is very unique because it teaches us that there are three types of feedback: appreciation, advice, and evaluation. All three types of feedback are used in specific scenarios. Appreciation is used to motivate people, advice to improve performance, and evaluation only when needed. Evaluation is perhaps the most difficult to understand, but the article makes it clear that evaluation does not help improve performance if used too often and should be used to send a message.
