Getting Fast and Frequent Feedback for Personal and Professional Growth
In this podcast episode, Sarah and Helen discuss the importance of fast and frequent feedback for personal and professional development. Feedback helps increase self-awareness, uncover blind spots, and navigate the uncertainties of a squiggly career. They provide practical ideas for obtaining feedback, such as asking 'one's wins,' turning praise into actionable feedback, being a strengths spotter, embracing auto-improvement, and using quick and specific questions to gather valuable insights.
Overcoming Barriers to Fast and Frequent Feedback
The podcast hosts address the barriers of formality and fear in receiving and giving feedback. Over-formalizing feedback reduces its effectiveness, while fear of negative feedback hinders personal growth. By framing feedback as a continuous learning opportunity and focusing on strengths instead of just weaknesses, people can be more open to giving and receiving valuable feedback. The hosts emphasize the importance of creating a feedback culture that is easy, informal, and transparent.
Making Auto-Improvement a Habit
The hosts highlight the value of auto-improvement in tasks or projects that are repeatable. While it's easy to fall into autopilot mode, auto-improvement allows for continuous growth. They suggest capturing auto-improvements in real-time, rather than waiting for a formal evaluation. By creating a central source for capturing learnings and improvements, individuals and teams can foster a culture of continuous improvement and make tangible progress in their squiggly careers.
Using Quick Questions to Facilitate Fast Feedback
The hosts present a collection of quick and specific questions to incorporate fast feedback into everyday conversations. These questions can help gather valuable insights without requiring extensive reflection. Examples include asking for one specific thing that can be improved between now and a specific date, identifying each person's unique contribution to the team, and asking for small tweaks that can enhance performance. These questions promote fast and actionable feedback without overwhelming participants or adding additional burdens.
