Review

I'll admit it: Thanks for the Feedback made me uncomfortable. And that's one reason I liked it so much. With keen insight and lots of practical takeaways, it reveals why getting feedback is so hard - and then how we can do better -- Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell is Human and Drive Thanks for the Feedback is a road map to more self-awareness, greater learning, and richer relationships. A tour de force -- Adam Grant, Wharton professor and author of Give and Take Imagine an organisation where everyone is actually good at receiving feedback. People would learn and grow. Impossible, you say? Thanks to this insanely original and powerful book, maybe not -- Judy Rosenblum, former chief learning officer of Coca-Cola and founder of Duke Corporate Education
