Tell Me How I'm Doing: A Fable About the Importance of Giving Feedback

Imagine going through your life receiving absolutely no input from colleagues or supervisors, friends or family. No inclusion in decisions, no praise or constructive criticism for the things you do -- in fact, no acknowledgment that you even exist at all. We all take feedback for granted, but it is a reference point without which we become incapable of functioning fully and productively.Tell Me How I'm Doing presents a fable that illustrates what can happen when feedback is denied, and then offers step-by-step guidance for making feedback an integral part of all working and personal relationships. Readers will learn the four distinct types of feedback -- supportive, corrective, abusive, and insignificant -- and how and when to use the first two while avoiding the others.People in all walks of life and all professions rely on human interaction as a touchpoint for self-definition and self-improvement. When we interact fully and constructively with our peers, we help create a positive, productive, and sustainable culture that serves everyone well
