We all know in business it is the results that count. As a coach, I work with clients to get them working smart. Part of working smart is asking for feedback and checking in to see how well you are doing. Do you constantly check in to see how you are measuring up?
Many times we are afraid of the truth yet it is the truth on a regular basis that puts the pulse on accountability and keeps communication fresh and alive. Feedback is one of the most amazing tools to grow your business. Make it an integral part of your culture and not only will your customers feel valued and recognized but so will your employees.
When customers are asked for feedback, they feel valued and respected, are much more apt to want to refer you to others and excited to be part your success. Asking and giving feedback are part of the same equation. Many times we think of feedback as only the negative input, the “oops employee you messed up again”. Do you recognize your staff and acknowledge others for what they do well on a regular basis?
When employees work in a culture that is open to giving and receiving feedback, employees feel appreciated, know where they are at, and are not afraid of losing their job. This translates to loyal employees who feel safe and empowered to take risks, to stretch and grow in an environment that fosters bringing more innovations to the forefront.
There is an art to giving and receiving feedback.
