  1. Giving and Receiving Feedback Local Elected Leadership ToT, Liberia

  2. WHAT IS FEEDBACK? • Feedback is the information offered to an individual for the purpose of assisting the receiver with his/her development

  3. FEEDBACK IS A FACT OF LIFE • It is difficult and uncomfortable • It can be dangerous • It is hard to help people see things they cannot see for themselves • It is our job as trainers

  4. OBSTACLES TO AVOID • Acting like a judge and jury • Acting in an aggressive or non assertive manner • Blaming the trainees or members of your team • Stereotyping • Using language that is vague or too complex • Framing feedback in the form of a question

  5. BASIC GUIDELINES • Feedback is a description of a condition • It is not the person but the behaviour • These are behaviours that can be changed • The timing needs to be right for the receiver but as close to the event as possible. • “Good” or “Bad” don’t communicate much. Specify what made it good or bad. • Leave the self-esteem intact • Leave the receiver free to change

  6. RECEIVING FEEDBACK • Avoid being defensive • Receive feedback with openness • Trust the feedback giver • Accept that you are not perfect.
