You wouldn\u2019t be the only one ever to feel this way. However, as you continue your journey to becoming a modern leader, it\u2019s time to handle your feedback like a boss. That means using the feedback planner to sift through the feedback you receive from someone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fuelmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4stepfeedbackplanner.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11296\" width=\"955\" height=\"476\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Steps to Handling Feedback Effectively&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you receive feedback from others, remember that this is an opportunity for you to grow. Here are four steps to help you in that process:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Listen:<\/strong> Listen actively to demonstrate understanding and acceptance. Remain calm regardless of how the criticism is shared (even if it\u2019s a venting of frustration). Be factual with examples.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Repackage:<\/strong> Repackaging the criticism as needed using the Feedback Planner. Gather more information if necessary.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Accept:<\/strong> Accept boxes one, two and three of the Feedback Planner and openly discuss the information in box four.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Improve:<\/strong> Improve the situation by offering options for you and the other person to do things differently. Feedback occurs during a conversation, so ask for suggestions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repackaging Your Feedback with the Feedback Planner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the feedback planner to repackage feedback. Consider these tips to keep that conversation moving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Restate:<\/strong> Ask the other person to restate what was said or asked, like, \u201cwhat is it about the way I did the project that you don\u2019t like?\u201d If you disagree with the feedback, you can say, \u201cwe see things differently. Please tell me more about your view and give me examples.\u201d These are boxes 2 and 3 in the feedback planner.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Hostility:<\/strong> Sometimes, people will say \u201cyes\u201d out of hostility. You might consider saying, \u201cI get the sense that you\u2019re saying yes only to be done with me.\u201d Maybe the other person keeps saying \u201cyes, but\u2026\u201d repeatedly. You could say, \u201cwhat I hear you saying is all the reason why it won\u2019t work. Let\u2019s look to implement this option or explore other feasible options.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Avoidance:<\/strong> Some people may be uncomfortable giving others feedback. There are a few things that you, the recipient of the feedback, can say to ease the situation, like \u201chow can I create an environment between us where we can openly talk about what is going on?\u201d You might have to ask them if they are interested in working out the situation. If not, you could say, \u201cIf you\u2019re not interested in working this out with me, how do you suggest we resolve this problem?\u201d These people are avoiding box 4 of the feedback planner. You should help them open up, so they can become part of the solution.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Get Help:<\/strong> There will be times when you\u2019re unsure of what\u2019s happening and may feel you need to get other people involved. You could say things like, \u201cI\u2019m not completely aware of what\u2019s going on here,\u201d \u201chow would you improve this situation?\u201d or \u201cwhat do you suggest we do?\u201d Again, this is box 4 of the feedback planner. Try to get the information you need to proceed, whether from the person giving feedback or someone else.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving and receiving feedback can elicit emotions and stoke tempers. When receiving feedback, think about how the information you get fits into the feedback planner. If the one giving feedback isn\u2019t clear or has missing data, ask for it. Even if you\u2019re receiving negative feedback, remember that you are a professional who can repackage information, so it\u2019s helpful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about giving and receiving feedback, read more Ask Fuel First articles or contact Fuel Medical\u2019s Professional Development team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching Through Feedback Giving feedback requires a little finesse.
