USE FEEDBACK TO BOOST CONFIDENCE & ABILITY IN THE WORKPLACE!

Giving and receiving feedback is an everyday skill that has become even more important in today’s business world when more and more people are working from home or in remote locations.

The idea that an annual performance review is the only time when feedback is needed is as outdated as Microsoft Windows 95.

So why do both employees and managers the world over dread the annual ritual of a performance review?

The answer is easy. Companies have institutionalised the giving and receiving of feedback and created a strong negative emotional response to the whole idea of having one's performance analysed. No wonder we all anticipate this moment with fear and doom.

However, when done in the right way, with the right intentions, feedback can lead to even greater success and performance. So, let BizPod share with you some tips on how and when to give feedback effectively and how to receive it constructively.

祖父との思い出

私の母方（ははかた）の祖父は鹿児島（かごしま）に住んでいた。小さいころは毎年夏休みに泊まりに行っていた。
印象的な思い出は庭で天然鰻（てんねん　うなぎ）を捌（さば）いて、七輪（しちりん）で蒲焼き（かばや　き）を作ってくれたことだ。本当にかっこいい姿だった。そんな祖父が今週亡くなり、とても寂しい。祖父との思い出はいつまでも忘れない。
