About the Course

This course teaches you the simple principles expert managers use to improve and motivate employee performance. You’ll never have to avoid telling an employee “the truth” again, because the seven techniques we teach will not make employees defensive or afraid. As a manager, or someone who would like to be a manager, you’ll also learn specifically what feedback is, how negative feedback is weighed more heavily than positive, and how positive feedback can super-charge behaviors such as creativity and teamwork. Giving feedback is a skill which develops over time. We give you a process you can use to improve your feedback skills and deliver it with confidence. You will find that there is a scientific basis for many of your observations and intuitions about feedback—such as, it is hard to give correctly, people don’t like it, and more. This will be reassuring as you learn how to overcome these difficulties. We hope you have a fantastic time becoming a better manager!...

This course was short but very informative and very helpful for an aspiring leader like myself. It also helped me understand how to view or understand when I receive feedback. I highly recommend it!!

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. The content is well organised and focused on practical situations. I particularly enjoyed the bits of psychological research shared in the content.

This is a good course. It is helpful and information is arranged strategicaly. However, the visuals (grpahs, figures, everything else) used in the videos could be much improved. Overall, excellent course, otherwise.

Very useful content, but the delivery was awkward and not as polished as other courses I've taken from Coursera. Sound quality can be improved, as well as just removing the annoying jingle at the end of every video.

The teacher taught this course pretty well. But the content covered in this course is relatively simple. (Maybe it is meant to be like this, suitable for everyone)

The exams and quizzes are too simple as well.

Good course for basic understanding of giving feedback.

Could've had more examples related to corporate world.

Can also include some more questions within the learning videos to reinforce learning.

It was helpful and intersting.

The onle negative point is that the instructor wasn't looking to the camera. She seemed to be reading notes looking somewhere else, and that was distracting.

Only directed to business situations. Probably great for managers. Some of the ideas I'm sure could work in personal situations as well but hard to know exactly how or which ones.
