27 分钟Hi there and welcome to Advanced English with Harry and in this particular Business
English podcast we're going to take a walk through how to give constructive feedback in English.
I'm going to help you to get a better understanding
of the English language without overly complicating it or in fact without confusing you.
And as I indicated we're looking at feedback, how to provide constructive feedback.
And the important word here is constructive, where something is helpful, informative and occasionally honest.
Yeah.
So you might think this is mostly one way, like downwards from a manager to you or to a subordinate.
But feedback can work both ways.
So you can provide feedback to your peer group, those at the same level or people reporting to you.
Or indeed, feedback can be given from you upwards to a manager if it's requested.
OK, so we're not really just talking about an employee's performance review where there would be feedback.
That's certainly one type, but there are many others.
Now, I believe feedback should always be treated like a sandwich.
OK, so you have the two slices of bread on the outside of the sandwich.
And this is when you give your positive comments.
And anything negative is your filling in the middle.
And of course, it doesn't always have to be bad.
Your feedback can be helpful and critical without being overly critical,
but something that is honest and will help the person that you're talking to.
