Feedback

Effective teams are grounded in the skills and discipline of feedback.

Understanding how we influence and shape the lives and work of others can be a revealing source of renewal for the individual and the organization. It can also be difficult and sometimes painful. Career Management Consultants are experienced facilitators in gathering, synthesizing, and interpreting feedback data. At the core of the process is the value of confidentiality and respect for the individual receiving the feedback as well as those who are willing to provide the developmental information.

Feedback can take many forms - facilitated dialogue, consultant interviews and feedback sessions, 360-degree individual assessments, or organizational assessments. Commercial instruments as well as customized instruments are carefully selected with the client, along with a discussion of the benefits and cautions for use of all types of feedback processes.

Managing expectations and developing other communications strategies are also key areas of focus for our consultant in designing the feedback process with the client organization.

Our consultants can train you and your team in the effective use of feedback to improve communication, group cohesiveness, and overall team performance. For a model of the feedback process in action, click here.
