Feedback: You don't have to be bad to get better
summary
Claim: feedback is a tool for growth not punishment, illustrated by fifteen years of youth soccer coaching and concrete workplace episodes. Examples include starting each season with the mantra you don’t have to be bad to get better, using the Johari window to find blind spots, negotiating nonverbal signals in meetings, and leaning on machines, tests and pipelines for objective feedback. Stories show which approaches work (asking permission, timing feedback, thanking receivers) and which backfire (soft praise, public shaming, withholding feedback).
