Hey im going to talk about the two articles I read on feedback and go back to week two and read one on time management.

First article (https://www.businessinsider.com/some-common-time-managements-fails-2016-7?r=US&IR=T#they-get-distracted-easily-3) is on how unsuccessful people mismanage there time.  The article talks about how people do not manage there time, correctly and the ways they do it. The first thing is they do not schedule this makes people late for scheduled things like trains buses etc. IT then states that they do not record or have a list which feeds into an article from week two that was all about checklists. The article then goes on to talk about getting distracted and procrastinating and how this damages there time management. The article the goes onto talk about how people who mismanage time do not plan when they get to have fun and do not plan there weekends so that they have time to rest this in turn burns them out .

The second article (https://heleo.com/adam-grant-give-bad-feedback-without-jerk/8968/) from week four talks about how to give feedback that will be useful to the person receiving it and they won’t take it personally. It talks about how usually people give the feedback sandwich with one compliment on the top then the negative feedback in the middle and a compliment on the bottom. The article states this method does not work as people are preparing for the bad feedback and do not listen to the good.  The article say what you should actually do is explain why you are giving feedback so that the person receiving it will not feel attacked.

The article then talks about how you shouldn’t give feedback from personal experience and instead you should talk about other people for example someone you read about. You should then as the person if they actually want some feedback this will let you see if they actually care about what you are saying. The article goes on to talk about how you should be transparent in what you are saying and that you should put your own feedback into action yourself.

The third article (https://hbr.org/2017/05/why-do-so-many-managers-avoid-giving-praise) from week four talks about how many manager do not give feedback to their employees.  This in turn forces employees to self-evaluate which doesn’t always work. The article states that leaders who give praise are more successful according to the leaders themselves but in actuality people who give negative and positive feedback are more successful.

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed.
