Feedback Strategies

The first article I read was "How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk". I really liked this article because giving feedback and accepting feedback is difficult and can come off in a negative way most of the time. No one wants to sound rude or superior when they are giving feedback but it is easy to do. One thing I agreed with is to not give the compliment sandwich, people know when you are doing it and I think it is more rude then just giving the feedback because the compliments are not sincere. I think that first taking yourself off of the pedestal and then giving the feedback is a good way to go.
The second article I read that I found useful was Be a Mirror. I enjoyed the part that talked about giving feedback that can be applied. Feedback is not useful unless it can be transferred. This is why I use the question type of feedback because it gives the author something to think about and indicates a part of the story that is unclear.
