About the Course

This course teaches you the simple principles expert managers use to improve and motivate employee performance. You’ll never have to avoid telling an employee “the truth” again, because the seven techniques we teach will not make employees defensive or afraid. As a manager, or someone who would like to be a manager, you’ll also learn specifically what feedback is, how negative feedback is weighed more heavily than positive, and how positive feedback can super-charge behaviors such as creativity and teamwork. Giving feedback is a skill which develops over time. We give you a process you can use to improve your feedback skills and deliver it with confidence. You will find that there is a scientific basis for many of your observations and intuitions about feedback—such as, it is hard to give correctly, people don’t like it, and more. This will be reassuring as you learn how to overcome these difficulties. We hope you have a fantastic time becoming a better manager!...

This course was short but very informative and very helpful for an aspiring leader like myself. It also helped me understand how to view or understand when I receive feedback. I highly recommend it!!

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. The content is well organised and focused on practical situations. I particularly enjoyed the bits of psychological research shared in the content.

Such a great course, I learnt a lot about how giving feedback can impact others and the best ways to deliver feedback in times of uncertainty. My only comment would be to shorten some of the videos that are over 10 minutes into shorter chunks as it became hard to remember what was said when it came to quizzes.

I found this course very insightful. It has actually helped me identify from both an employee and leadership perspective why I have flourished or failed in both roles. Thanks for providing a way to share this content with people online so that anyone in the world can share in the experience and knowledge.

I enjoyed this course and found the information on constructive work related feedback and suggestions useful. I did not pay, therefore I was not allowed to take the quizzes to complete the course. I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to view and learn from the provided lessons. Thank you :)

Short concise lessons which can be put into use immediately. It would have been great for a hyperlink to the final exam results to the lesson to review/re-examine. This was my first course with Coursera so may be user error, but that would have been helpful to review where I missed questions.

It actually gets your thoughts re-engaged from lecture and shift of terminologies more immersed in reviewing. It is very interesting how data driven facts can somehow be really different by cultural drives. Which it also advises. In other words, its challenging and has taught me a lot!

I really liked this course!

It had great examples to help us understand more what to expect in certain situations and to get us prepared for it, not just in workplaces but also in our day-to-day lives. It helps us think and find a good way to deal with the situation before we act.

Indeed a very helpful course. I know this for sure - As I went through the course, I consciously practiced some of the principles outlined and found the same very practical and result oriented.

Many of the learnings are useful in both, professional as well as personal life.

Excellent course BUT the final assessment was not helpful because it depended on memorizing/retrieving information from previous videos I have watched and passed their assessments. I would've rathered having case studies questioned than the confusing MCQs.

Thank you

Good course on giving feedback! Has a lot of examples, the larning modules are spaced in good intervals and the course content is very informative and easy to understand.

If possible, i would've liked to see more tests on the subject matter.

The course was very helpful. Gave me a fair idea of how to give feedback to different employees in different manners and approaches. I could identify which are the areas I need to focus and work on to build a good and aligned team.

Absolutely exceptional this course is! The power of a feedback can be understood and giving effective feedback can be learned effortlessly through various examples, researches, facts and figures to be better leaders at our places.

Useful class to learn a methodology that can be applied in both our professional and personal lives: how to improve communication with people, how to get more prepared before delivering feedback without creating an argument.

This is a good course. It is helpful and information is arranged strategicaly. However, the visuals (grpahs, figures, everything else) used in the videos could be much improved. Overall, excellent course, otherwise.

Very useful content, but the delivery was awkward and not as polished as other courses I've taken from Coursera. Sound quality can be improved, as well as just removing the annoying jingle at the end of every video.

The teacher taught this course pretty well. But the content covered in this course is relatively simple. (Maybe it is meant to be like this, suitable for everyone)

The exams and quizzes are too simple as well.

Good course for basic understanding of giving feedback.

Could've had more examples related to corporate world.

Can also include some more questions within the learning videos to reinforce learning.

It was helpful and intersting.

The onle negative point is that the instructor wasn't looking to the camera. She seemed to be reading notes looking somewhere else, and that was distracting.

Proporciona información clave de como funciona el comportamiento humano y cual es la manera correcta de dar feedback para mejorar conductas de los empleados y dirigir correctamente

Only directed to business situations. Probably great for managers. Some of the ideas I'm sure could work in personal situations as well but hard to know exactly how or which ones.

I enjoyed the course, it gave good examples which helped explain the content from each of the sections. The content was not too heavy and was easier enough for me to ingest.

Excellent course with resources to be used immediately. Opportunity to learn independently and apply the principles with exemplars and video to guide the process.

interesting, a lot of examples,

the only drawback for me is that the presenter seems to rigid and unatural during the presentations of the different subjects

Interesting course and helpful tips for giving useful feedback. Would like to see more video examples of feedback situations and practice critiquing them.
