Giving feedback is a necessary and important part of workplace relationships, whether you are working with a peer, manager, staff member or customer. Learn how to turn a situation that many times ends in defensiveness or anger into a positive conversation that strengthens the working relationship and contributes to increased productivity.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate between fact and opinion
- Avoid using verbal hooks that lead to defensiveness and anger
- Respond to challenging rebuttals and diffuse tension
- Stay focused and on-track during the feedback conversation
