Feedback Strategies

Feedback Strategies

The first article that decided to go with was "Try Feedforward Instead Of Feedback" by a man called Marshall Goldsmith. I was understanding the good points that they were trying to get across on the article such as the following:

The feedback you give towards a person or object should not meaningless or empty because you want to give them information on the feedback on why you think it fell down in some areas and what they can do to improve it or even what you would like them to do to help better themselves in there current or future projects.

They also taught me that it does really matter how high you are in terms of power or rank because anybody will need feedback and whichever areas you feel that they lack in and just because someone teaches you new information and how to do it doesn't mean you cant advise them with feedback and how to get the main point across or what to talk about that they missed some whole topic around it.

“Mistakes should be examined, learned from, and discarded; not dwelled upon and stored.” – Tim Fargo

When I first saw this quote I did not know what it meant but, If I were to take a guess I would say that it is trying to tell us, when someone gives you a feedback you should try adding it towards your project don't just read it and not make changes because without change you will get the same result.

The second article that I also wanted to go with was "The Difference Between Praise and Feedback" by a women called Anya Kamenetz. This book has some very good opinions that I felt were so true and relevant is day to day life because the article talked about the following:

• Process Praise
• Praise and Personhood
• Praise and Feedback

The article was basically trying to explain that parent are always praising kids over little things that does not play a role in their lives like picking up a paint brush and or little tests. It would be more beneficial to interact with them and ask them some questions, talk to them about school or whatever their interests are and get involved with what the kids are doing.

I feel like the articles that I have read were very enlightening, I have really learned how to improve on my feedback comments to help give people hopefully very successful ideas.

Feedback Thoughts

Fixed Mindset

Isolated Mindset

I was reading about "what fixed mindset is" I found out what it is about and the problems of fixed mindsets. I think that fixed mindsets can go both ways in terms of positive and negative because to have a fixed mindset is to be 100% certain about what to do and why you are doing it and sticking to the same routine day after day which is very good if you are good at what you do and are doing very well in that area or workplace. However you can also encounter problems with fixed mindsets and that is because you are not open minded, you have one sides thoughts which is a bad thing because once your routine breaks or changes you will not be able to adapt or understand what is going on. I think because they are so used to staying in their comfort zone they always want to stay in a place that they are good at. It is different to someone with a open mindset because you are ready to take on the challenges and you are completely willing to learn something new because to the person it is not starting all over again from the bottom it is adding new skills to the resume.

Why Rejection hurts so much

Emotional Rejection

I believe that rejection hurts the most because sometimes we may not be ready for it and even when we are ready for rejection we are still in disbelief over the event that just occurred. The rejection can hurt from a number of reasons, 1 of them being from something you love or care about because in your mind everything is going well and then problems happen which lead to the rejection. We are still human and are all vulnerable to devastation and heartbreak. The worse thing that can happen from rejection is that you close yourself up to the world and build up an emotional wall because you do not want to get hurt again which leads to sudden change in character. The most important reason is because we live in a world where we care about how other people see us especially when you try and invest your time around that person the rejection hurts the most when you yourself made the effort and you still were not good enough.
