How to Discuss What Matters Most

The bestselling authors of the classic Difficult Conversations teach us how to turn evaluations, advice, criticisms, and coaching into productive listening and learning We swim in an ocean of feedback. Bosses, colleagues, customers—but also family, friends, and in-laws—they all have “suggestions” for our performance, parenting, or appearance. We know that feedback is essential for healthy relationships and professional development—but we dread it and often dismiss it. That’s because receiving feedback sits at the junction of two conflicting human desires. We do want to learn and grow. And we also want to be accepted just as we are right now. Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. It explains why getting feedback is so crucial yet so challenging, and offers a powerful framework to help us take on life’s blizzard of off-hand comments, annual evaluations, and unsolicited advice with curiosity and grace. The business world spends billions of dollars and millions of hours each year teaching people how to give feedback more effectively. Stone and Heen argue that we’ve got it backwards and show us why the smart money is on educating receivers— in the workplace and in personal relationships as well. Coauthors of the international bestseller Difficult Conversations, Stone and Heen have spent the last ten years working with businesses, nonprofits, governments, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. With humor and clarity, they blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice. The book is destined to become a classic in the world of leadership, organizational behavior, and education.

Real College

Eigenlijk is het leven één grote feedbacksessie: dagelijks krijgen we advies en kritiek van vrienden, familie, collega's, klanten, leidinggevenden en zelfs van huisdieren. En ook al weten we dat feedback zeer waardevol kan zijn, vaak negeren we het of herkennen het überhaupt niet. Feedback is een cadeautje is het eerste boek dat focust op succesvol feedback ontvangen. Hoe komt het dat we kritiek kunnen ervaren als een aanval op onze identiteit? Waarom vinden we zo snel dat de ander 'geen recht van spreken' heeft? Hoeveel nuttige inzichten laten we liggen omdat 'het nu niet het juiste moment is'? Goed feedback kunnen ontvangen heeft allerlei voordelen: je relaties worden er sterker door, je zelfvertrouwen groeit en mensen vinden het prettiger om met je samen te werken. Op humorvolle wijze en met vele praktijkvoorbeelden laten Douglas Stone en Sheila Heen zien hoe iedereen zich kan trainen in het herkennen en verwerken van feedback. Want of je nu in een grote of kleine organisatie werkt, binnen een team opereert, een relatie of een gezin hebt: feedback is en blijft een cadeautje.
