Rules of Feedback
March 21, 2011
Adults keep saying we owe it to the young people, to give them hope, but I don’t want your hope...I want you to panic…I want you to act.

- Always lead with a question. How do you think you're doing? It gives the recipient ownership of the problem and helps him feel included, not excluded.
- Never give criticism unless it has been invited; unsolicited negative feedback only provokes annoyance and will be discounted.
- Distinguish whether a demand for change reflects your needs or a valid critique of how someone is doing something.
- Never give feedback when you are angry; anger alienates the listener. Expressing disappointment is more productive.
Exchange has packaged six of its leadership resources into a single "Leadership Tool Kit" and is offering the entire set at a 25% discount — separately these resources would cost $156.90, but we are offering the entire Leadership Tool Kit for only $118. Resources in the kit include: - The Art of Leadership: Managing Early Childhood Organizations
- Leading People in Early Childhood Settings CD Book
- Learning to Lead: Effective Leadership Skills for Teachers of Young Children
- Targeted Leadership — Building a Team That Hits the Mark
- Beginnings Workshops Book #8 - Professionalism

Your advice for giving feedback (3-21-11) has a lot in common with the Parents Forum conversational formula. This is what we use in our workshop role play 'How To Tell Somebody Something They'd Rather Not Hear.' It is explained in our handbook Where the Heart Listens, chapter four 'Tools of the Trade.'
Btw, Where the Heart Listens just won the Parent Tested Parent Approved PTPA Seal of Approval.
I always enjoy reading your ExchangeEveryDay: you offer such useful and uplifting bits!

As a director how do they suggest you give negative feedback when it is not solicited. Postive and engative feedback is my job.
