In the first of my four blogs about the things you may think are feedback, but actually aren’t, I introduced the idea that we’ve been getting feedback all wrong.

The word “hack” is often used instead of tips. For example, here’s a blog post on “ 100 Incredible Life Hacks that Make Life So Much Easier ”. The first one is “Tie a small piece of fabric to your luggage. Saves a lot of time to check if it’s your bag or not.” I like to think of hacks as discovering new ways to use common items. For example, when I travel, I always have a small binder clip with me in case since the curtains won’t close right.

Believe it or not, professional experiences hold a powerful weight with the impact they have on our lives. If people aren’t engaged in their roles , have an opportunity to collaborate with others, or don’t feel excited to come to work, this can diminish the potential for an overall positive experience. When employees are spending 40+ hours a week in a place they feel trapped, they aren’t showing up each day as the best version of themselves (and before long, they may not show up at all).

Forgive me for the cryptic title on today’s post. I won’t keep you in suspense. The answer is, management development should include “virtual” management of remote workers. My guess is that managers are being asked to supervise an increasing number of remote or virtual employees. Even if they only do it on a part-time or sporadic basis. A great case in point – – the news headlines last winter that said, “ 75 percent of the population will suffer below-freezing temps this week ”.

For many of us, “feedback” is a dirty word that we associate with painful conversations, bias, politics, resentment, and self-doubt. Feedback certainly has a branding problem — a negative reputation we’ve collectively built one lousy experience at a time. It isn’t that we all set out with bad intentions; some of the worst experiences frequently arise out of a genuine desire to do the right thing by providing honest feedback to improve performance.

Even if you’re not an Elton John fan, no doubt you’ve heard many of his songs. In fact, I dare you to listen to the song “Bennie and the Jets” and not sing every word to the chorus. An impossible task, indeed. But did you know that Elton John doesn’t write those famous lyrics (and that Daniel isn’t Elton’s brother?). For more than half a century, the legendary singer has relied on poet and lyricist, Bernie Taupin to write his words.
