There are three (3) types of feedback: positive, negative and none. Which do you think is the most harmful? Yes, you got it right - none! At least with negative feedback we are being noticed. A fundamental underlying human principle is our need to feel we contribute and are valued.
So no feedback, to most people is devastating. So why do we find the act of providing feedback so hard?
This session provides insights into this seemingly difficult but necessary everyday task. It introduces you to various models for giving and receiving feedback such as the Johari Window, BOFF and the Feedback Hamburger. It provides you with opportunity to practise this skill and overcome any anxieties you may hold concerning interacting with your people and providing sound feedback.
This activity is a board game run in small groups of up to six. The game is based on the JoHari Window Model of feedback and disclosure. Participants exchange information, experiences and feelings about themselves, each other and their organisation in a safe setting with clear parameters.
The basic building block of the Know MeŽ suite is the Master Game, which enables players to encounter one another as individuals and to understand other players in terms of their personal values, views and experiences, rather than their status, race, gender or position in the organisation. It is the Master Game that lays the foundation for ongoing relationships based on mutual trust and open communications.
Please Note: This activity has better and bigger outcomes the longer it is played. Therefore, a minimum of 3 hours is recommended.
