Synopsis

Feedback—timely, specific, two-way feedback is among the most effective communications tools we possess. And while we all possess the ability to master the art of giving effective feedback, most of us have not developed the skills necessary to do so. And we lack the skills because most of us don’t actually know what the elements of effective feedback are. Feedback Revolution was created to remedy that situation, and to remedy in an enjoyable, inviting and above all, practical way. The book was written to give you the tools you will need to create a feedback revolution in your organization. The purpose is to clear away the fog and misunderstandings that surround feedback as typically practiced and replace them with clarity, tools, and techniques for putting real feedback in place in your organization. Feedback Revolution rests upon experience, observation and research—every tip, tool or tactic presented has been tested in business and has demonstrated consistent effectiveness in the real world.

Thank heaven! Margie Mauldin has finally declared an end to a 50-year failed experiment in performance management. And has one of the wisest, most experienced and most influential practitioners in the field of organization development, she is eminently qualified to lead the replacement revolution - the long-needed norm of skillful, immediate and effective feedback. This book will immediately boost the quality of work and quality of life in every organization that embraces it. - --Joseph Grenny, New York Times bestselling co-author of Crucial Conversations

Giving feedback has always been seen as something done once a year in the annual ambush. Not anymore. Filled with relevant examples, funny anecdotes, and straightforward how to's, Feedback Revolution flips the notion of feedback being dreadful on its head. It provides readers with a blueprint and a set of practical skills to make delivering feedback simple and effective for any employee at any level. - --Chester Elton, New York Times bestselling author of the Carrot Principal and All In

Margie Mauldin's Feedback Revolution is an absolute joy to endorse as it is highly relevant for our times. Filled with wonderful insight and engaging examples about what kinds of performance reviews work and don't work, Margie has stepped out of the industrial age of critique and review, and elevated is into the knowledge-worker age of purpose-driven feedback focused on people. Every leader and organization today can gain enormously by adopting these measures and transform what used to be a dreaded process into a positive review revolution. - --Stephen M. R. Covey, New York Times bestselling author of Speed of Trust and co-author of Smart Trust
