3 Ways to Get Started with Feedback

What is a culture of feedback and why do you need one?

A culture of feedback exists when:

  • Everyone understands feedback is a tool for growth and development.

  • People not only ask for feedback proactively, but they expect it.

  • Feedback is not a “special occasion”, but something that happens regularly.

  • Leaders model receiving feedback without taking it personally.

When a culture of feedback exists, team morale will not be shaken by feedback. In fact, individuals and the team as a whole, will expect feedback. They'll view feedback as a tool to improve how they communicate and collaborate to make work more enjoyable, productive, innovative, and meaningful.
