The art of feedback
In order to even begin with the subject of feedback properly, we need to take a step back and identify what standpoint and communication form precede its successful formulation
Assertive communication assumes a clear expression of one’s thoughts, wishes and needs, at the same time respecting and appreciating the interlocutor’s. Therefore, by doing so, we take neither the position of a critic (conveying the message “I will have it my way”), nor the passive role in which we give way to other people’s needs.
So, in order to approach giving and receiving feedback the right way, it is important to become aware of the advantages and adopt the model of assertive communication.
