Synopsis

The secret to giving better feedback isn't what we say—it's what others hear. Too often, people hear about a past they can't control, not a future they can. That changes with "feedforward"—a radical approach to sharing feedback that unleashes the performance and potential of everyone around us.

From managers and coaches trying to energize their teams, to teachers hoping to motivate their students, to parents looking to empower their children, people from all walks of life want others to hear what they have to say. Through a lively blend of stories and studies, The Feedback Fix shows them how by presenting a six-part REPAIR plan that spreads feedforward across boardrooms, classrooms, and even dining rooms.

Even with drastic changes in how we work and live, the experiences we create for others—joy or fear, growth or decline, success or failure—still hang on the feedback we share. The Feedback Fix makes a compelling argument for getting what we want by giving others what they need—all while rebuilding the way we lead, learn, and live.

Feedback comprises a crucial part of leading people under you. Your feedback to them and their feedback to you provide a means to improve. Yet with how it’s conducted in many places, feedback in the form of reviews and grades can induce more anxiety than improvement. Giving effective feedback and re......more

Goodreads review by Deanna on August 03, 2022

There were a lot of common sense statements and a larger focus on corporate than education examples but I found the book helpful and thought provoking as I look ahead to the new school year. I hope that I can apply some of the ideas I've considered to leading both my department and my students.......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on June 13, 2018

I really enjoyed reading this book. I heard about it on an education podcast, and while there are certainly ties that can be made to education, this feels more like a business book. The anecdotes were interesting and there are take-aways that I will use in the classroom. Autonomy and specificity are......more
