Feedback : A Powerful Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness (edX)

In most of the studies and literature on Organisational Behaviour, little has been said or written about feedback and its powerful impact. Because of its evaluative and corrective nature, it has a strong impact on the receiver's thoughts. There are two sides to every feedback situation: the giver and the receiver. It is critical to both give and receive feedback in order to improve and employee’s and a team's performance. When administered correctly, it has a significant influence.

e-Learning Ecologies: Innovative Approaches to Teaching and Learning for the Digital Age (Coursera)
