We all can agree that feedback is helpful. However, the method of feedback helps determine its effectiveness. The most effective feedback occurs when one is self-aware to the point that they spot their areas of strength and success as well as their areas of potential improvement. This means they are able to provide an overall assessment of their performance and a review of situations they’re involved in.
