Reflection Journal 2 (Giving and Receiving Feedback)
*Write a short reflection (300-500 words) on giving and receiving feedback:
1) What have you learnt about giving and receiving feedback? For me, what I have learnt about giving feedbacks is giving negative feedback after positive feedback actually helps in making feedback receivers feel less hurt and they have high tendency to accept my critism .It is because people feel comfortable when they were praised .After that, giving negative feedback wouldn’t stimulate aggressiveness and harshness of words from them as they knew I know something is good about them .For instance , giving feedbacks in my mum’s cooks. When my mum cooks something for the first time, e.g. sweet and sour pork ribs , I remembered I commented about the food. ”The food has a nice aroma .” I said. ”Thanks for the compliments.” My mum replied. And I continued ”But could you reduce the amount of salts added .It’s slightly salty .”My mum asked” Is it? I would add less salt next time .From this experience, I know giving feedbacks in this way helps a lot .Furthermore, what I learnt about receiving feedbacks is about learning to be tolerant and calm .For example ,when my friends are giving negative feedbacks about me. E.g. about my role in the team.I always carry out my responsibilities half-heartedly. Actually listening from my friends giving feedbacks about my attitude and style of working in carrying out my role helps me in identifying my weakness and initiate myself in making a change .While receiving negative or positive feedbacks ,patience and tolerance is indeed important to remain calm.
2) How did you feel about giving feedback? I feel I have to think about the feeling of others and the appropriate place, date and time when I am giving positive or negative feedbacks .It is because people tends to feel hurt when I give feedbacks especially the negative ones. Sometimes when I was giving positive feedbacks ,others tends to think that
