Sridhar Venkatesan’s Post

Ever wondered why some people react defensively to feedback while others are open to it? People in human resources should know this. Here's the science behind it: Our brains process feedback as a threat or a reward. Negative feedback = a threat Positive feedback = reward So, when you give someone constructive criticism, their brain might perceive it as a threat. This activates the fight, flight, or freeze response. They might get defensive, make excuses, or shut down. Understanding this can help you deliver feedback in a way that the other person's brain perceives it as a reward. Start with positive, be specific, and offer solutions. When their brain sees feedback as a potential reward, they're more likely to act on it. Try it out and see the difference! #humanresources #feedback

Best way to give feedback is by using a permission based question: “would you be open minded to some feedback?” If they say yes, nurture it.
