Steve: Great point. That way, all positive feedback becomes just a preamble for the drubbing that follows. I've always felt that the yearly performance review is a clear sign that there's something very wrong in out workplaces. Why don't people know all the time how they're doing? Laura: Fantastic idea. How'd it go Sham: I’m glad you liked it!

After so many years in business, I still cringe when I am about to get "feedback." Yet it is invariably more positive and affirming than I was expecting. I think the avoidance of "feedback" comes from its use as a performance management tool. There seems to be a tendency for many managers to wait for the formal review, start off with a positive comment, and then the employee waits for the list of "do this better" stuff. The lesson? Don't wait until performance review time to give, or ask for, feedback. It's an ongoing conversation, not a surprise. Steve Alex,
