by Anna Carroll Mssw (Author)

The Feedback Imperative: How to Give Everyday Feedback to Speed Up Your Team's Success reveals the hidden reasons why giving feedback to employees can be so difficult and yet so urgently needed in today's workplace, and provides the definitive steps for overcoming feedback avoidance and taking great leaps forward with employee engagement, retention, and performance.

Anna Carroll applies her extensive research and expertise in business consulting and psychology to illustrate how brain science, generational trends, our information economy, limiting beliefs, and organizational culture collide in the new workplace, creating a huge gap between the supply and demand of helpful professional feedback. In her "Seven Steps to Everyday Feedback" and sixteen tools for self-assessment and planning, Carroll provides detailed instructions for leaders to execute a feedback turnaround that will quench their team members' thirst for helpful feedback and build a culture in which employee-to-leader and peer-to-peer feedback are welcome as well.
