Lets Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower

Brilliant at fostering real behavioral changes and building enduring trust, Nir Eyal, renowned author of Hooked, heralds the importance of effective feedback in the workplace. Often, we are held back by the fear of uncomfortable discussions, causing us to either refrain from giving feedback or choose our words poorly. "Let’s Talk" offers a solution to this common issue. Written by Dr. Therese Huston, a leading authority in communication at work, the book provides comprehensive guidance on giving feedback assertively and effectively. Dr. Huston outlines the essential components of constructive feedback: empathizing with the recipient, prioritizing listening, articulating good intentions, and identifying the type of feedback your colleagues need most. Furthermore, she introduces six practical tools designed to deliver feedback that is both supportive and transformational. These include strategies for handling resistance and eliminating unconscious bias during evaluations. This creates a structured approach for enhancing individual performance, fostering trust, and boosting morale, making feedback a more approachable and beneficial task. Julie Zhuo, the bestselling author of The Making of a Manager, praises the book for its research, compelling anecdotes, and practical frameworks, which empower individuals to transform feedback into an invaluable skill.
