Feedback

Feedback is a message about the consequences of an action that helps correct a behavior, decision or process.

Definition

Feedback is useful when it relates to a specific behavior, goal and possible correction. It is not the same as assessing a person. Good feedback reduces uncertainty, shows the gap between intention and effect, and facilitates learning from one trial to the next.

Practice and life

Ask for feedback in three questions: what works, what doesn't work, what specifically should be improved in the next version.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to treat feedback as a judgment about a person's value. A common mistake is giving general grades without examples and direction for correction.
