Module introduction

Giving employee feedback can be hard, and sometimes a little scary. Yet the benefits to giving feedback are abundant: improved engagement, self-awareness, motivation, and performance. 

In this course, you’ll first learn how to prepare for and effectively conduct a feedback meeting. You’ll then discover what to do when an employee reacts poorly and how to respond to other common negative reactions to feedback.

Simon Carvi

Employees avoid managers who dodge responsibility. Clear feedback wether positive or negative is part of the job.
Why this module

Managers avoid giving feedback because they fear conflict, but silence only creates disengagement and repeated mistakes. 

This module gives you the tools and scripts to deliver feedback that is heard, handle emotional reactions without losing control, and build a feedback rhythm that actually drives performance.

A word from our students 

The key takeaway I gained from the MDP was how to effectively manage team interactions and create Individual Development Plans. Simon provided excellent explanations with clear examples and practical strategies for real management situations.
The program was interactive and immediately applicable to my role as a manager.
Tanyatorn, Purchasing Manager
The key takeaway from the program was the clear process for managing my team member's development. I was particularly impressed by how practical and useful the content was.
I now have high confidence in applying these management frameworks to my daily work.
Kritsaree, Program Manager 
The Manager Development Program was the refresher I needed for managing a team. Instead of vague theory, I learned how to set clear goals, give direct feedback, and coach with confidence. The program focuses on what really matters in team management and provides practical implementation guidelines I could apply right away.
