INDUSTRY TRENDS
***Managers Should Provide Feedback*** "A good leader knows how to communicate effectively with his or her employees about aspects of a job that were done well and those done poorly," states author Keith Ayers. “If managers don't tell their employees when they do something right and when they do something wrong, they may never fully realize the best way to go about doing their job. When giving positive or negative feedback to others, remember to use the three-part process: describe the behavior in a non-judgmental way; communicate the impact of the behavior on you or on others; and make a request of what you would like to see in the future. By using this process, managers will provide employees with constructive feedback that does not strike a blow to anyone's self-esteem."
