Feedback Strategies

One of the articles that I read was an article called "Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise?". The article goes into detail of how managers go about feedback to their employees. Many managers saw that the negative comments were more effective and common than the positive comments. Managers lack of positive praise showed to have a better impact on the employee, when it comes to product, compared to positive feedback. In my opinion, the motive of negative feedback causes a reaction in the employees brain to improve. This is a loss of satisfaction and the need to improve to get to that point. The positive feedback would cause an acceptance of work and then quality drops significantly.

The other article that I read was "Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset". This article was pretty much a article on commenting on others work and projects. Its' main goal was to get the point across that you need to be a mirror. It doesn't mean give them what they want to hear, but give them something to build on when it comes to their work. Positive feedback is good in writing, but there always needs to be a hint of negative, so the writer knows what to build on from the point that you gave. I really enjoyed the article because that is something I really need to work on when commenting. I got the positive feedback down, but I still need to be able to do the little negative hint to cause improvement in the work

Feedback Thoughts

The first article that I read was the article on the Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt. The article is a decent article that has many tips to combat the self-doubt that many people have in society today. I have had issues with self-doubt, especially in high school, but college has aided me in taking care of those characteristics to almost nothing. The biggest point that effected me was the very first one in the article. The point was "Don't Compare Yourself to Others". This is a huge problem for many of people across the world as we are always trying to be others and compare our lives to others. this article opened my eyes to a few things I do and I am thankful I read it and will try to apply it to my life.

The other article id why rejection hurts so much. Rejection is something that everyone has to deal with in their life no matter how perfect your life seems to be or is. There are the lucky few that only face it a few times but those people are few and far between. Rejection is something that can take a massive effect on someone no matter how minimal it is. The rejection of something is like having a perfect plan and being foiled by something. Rejection is one of the worlds problems that isn't really a problem. Rejection is a personal problem that is mostly a mind thing with people that causes stress, depression and other mental problems.
