The secret to giving great feedback 

Summary 

This is a complicated story. It’s because if you’re a great feedback giver, the receiver mightn’t want to listen to what you say. First, it’s important for the receiver to prepare for listening. (It’s obvious.)

The speaker’s secret is that the great feedback giver is to actively ask for feedback, to be a learner always, and to get the power. 

And then, we can use four formulas that the speaker suggests how to give effective feedback. 

First, it’s better to begin asking a short question. 

Next, to show your data point and the impact statement. 

And then, to wrap feedback messages with a question again!! I understand that giving feedback messages means to have the receiver answer a question. Even if it’s constructive, it won’t be good to criticize.
