In this fascinating discussion on giving and receiving feedback with columnist and author Joe Hirsch, Joe and Andy explore a wide range of issues of interest to leaders who look for a successful process that builds rather than damages relationships. Feedback should help participants to evolve rather than provoking fear, resistance and retreat. There needs to be a change of mindset, creating a constructive partnership between the 'giver' and the 'receiver'. Joe suggests specific ways of achieving productive feedback both formal and informal. He emphasises the importance of care, caution and collaboration in a trusted relationship. Andy suggests a followup podcast to cover particularly the problem of how to receive feedback.
