The ABCs of Effective Feedback

by Irwin M. Rubin, Thomas J. Campbell

To show how to eliminate the pitfalls of traditional feedback approaches and enhance the win-win quality of all communication, Irwin M. Rubin and Thomas J. Campbell draw on their research with more than 10,000 professionals across diverse industries and international cultures. With vignettes, a case study, and pithy cartoons, the authors detail two dynamic tools to help chart a course to excellence in giving and receiving championship-level feedback. Their integrated four-phase feedback model and practical, behavioral tools provide the ingredients essential to plan for and learn from our daily experiences. Managing relationships, building trust, and communicating effectively are all essential skills to improving performance and ensuring the delivery of quality patient care. For physicians, nurses, educators, executives, and other important members on patient care teams, The ABCs of Effective Feedback offers the tools and techniques necessary to face the unique challenges of being a leader and resolving conflicts to produce win-win outcomes.
