Feedback

 Feedback!!

Not to share feedback… Quick glance on my learning on while I received and predominantly on sharing..

It is very sensitive as it sounds and if not handled properly then, it might be another pain to handle.. .👀

Quickly,what does google say about feedback: “information about reactions to a product, a person's performance of a task, etc. which is used as a basis for improvement.” .. Err.. I am not impressed google.. ! you could say in little more fancy way.. Well, Ideally, the feedback process is part of our day to day life, to keep some one aware of their performance and how far they reached towards the target which is defined at organization level. Err.. Google is better. I know.. 😉

It is quite an interesting process, if you are a leader, likes to mentor people, (trust me, they should only do it). In other hand, If you are not a people person, then there is a hell waiting for both parties!!😈

Well, while I share feedback , can I speak my mind. ??. A Big NO.. Hmmm. I am person who speaks of  mind.. If I do not say what I feel,  I cannot get sleep.. Manufacturing defect.! It was definitely a lot of struggle for me to practice to become a people person than being myself..!

The important qualities that I learnt and requires to share feedback, in no particular order..💫

  • Tone of voice 
  • Body Language 
  • Words 
  • Look at eyes 
  • Be honest 
  • LISTEN

and most importantly being empathy but not being completely carried away with the emotions and follow the process!  it works and it worked for me!

 Yes, it requires lot of practice.. We call it as SANDWICH Process!! Prepare the sandwich and freeze it for a while.. During the meeting, heat and deliver it.. There is no room for on-spot preparation n delivery.. 


Also, the problem is that while giving feedback , criticism always pops up. And most of the criticism  are not the positive ones or either received appropriately.

Well, while receiving , being open minded  and acceptance is more important than any other defending qualities.. I have had amazing leaders who shared constructive feedback which helped me to reach where I am today! Thanks to all my leaders..

I have mentioned mostly taking official life.. but it works at personal life too..!! No side effects..

That’s take on today’s blog.. Meet you in next blog..

 29th of 30 day blog.. 😊

A Telescopic view of API

  From a Business Analyst- Telescopic View to API The development/technical folks tell you a few words all day and the words register, echo… There is more than one way to deal with that Ignore the echo and start using the words like a pro; beyond that word, you would not have any idea about it.

All gold..

 As part of my job, I get to embrace a lot of gold chains/bracelets/rings /earrings, and being a woman, the temptations are real, to wear and own it. These desires grew stronger day by day, which landed me in a spot through the receptionist, where there is no camera coverage and with a deal that I have to allow her to wear it for a selfie. Well, one is taken care of, the wanting to possess at least a few did not allow me to sleep. I could not afford to buy any one of them because our peanut salary gets invisible into the endless loan, education fees, and all the bills. I did not want to become a gold thief, hence for now decided to sleep over the thought.  Days flew fast as the gossip on my Instagram jewel post. Few thought I won the lottery and interestingly, few assumed that my husband is getting black money in his IT job. Whatever the gossips where, but it made me feel like a celebrity in my neighborhood.  All the unknown faces become known. I got to choose the vegetab...

Impartiality.

  Today  Mythili, “get ready soon. We are late!”. “Why in such a hurry? We have good 30 mins to catch the bus. To be specific, I do not want to wait at the bus stand. The bus stand, that has taken my son’s life. I know something happened there and no one wants to share with me anything”. She sits on the sofa, not wanting to cry but still her tears reveal the pain that she is going through for the last 5 years. Guilty and feeling helpless! Sigh! I am hoping from today the days are going to be better. Suddenly the wreath falls from his photo, acknowledging my hope. His smile and that innocence,  at least once, I want to ask him,  "Am I not a good father?" 5 days back: After my son killed himself, Mythili lost herself in a different world. She stopped sleeping and eating. During those days, my situation was the same as hers. I could not do anything much to take care of her. Once I moved to the office, I managed to divert the pain, but she locked herself in a room and wa...
