Describe The Most Important Piece Of Constructive Feedback Process

Describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant’s response. (500 words)

The most constructive feedback I gave him was to communicate efficiently and effectively. I believe giving a very long status report or the reverse a very terse one is not of use to the audience. The listeners lose interest in the middle and it becomes a lost cause. In addition to the way of communication, keeping the communication alive is another important point. Keeping the supervisors, clients and subordinates updated with the latest information at all the times.

I found him in the beginning giving very detailed explanation of the issues to each and every subsection of the project where the problem touches. This diverted both his and my attention from the core issue and at the end of the report we would be left at where we started- no resolution of the issue. I gave him feedback in his review to keep it short and simple, focus on the core issue and just update either on the development of the core issue or on the obstacle he’s facing while resolving the problem.

Another issue was with maintaining the communication all throughout

The team is there to resolve the issue quicker than an individual would and so he must instantly take decision when stuck with an issue, communicate with me and together we will resolve the issue. The length of the update I asked him to cut short and provide only the relevant information in the team meetings. I had to say these things because on basis of his acumen I used to access what work he can do and assign him but when he was unable to do it ,I was informed at the last moment about the external issues which were valid but should have brought to me
