About the Book

The secret to giving better feedback isn’t what we say – it’s what others hear. Too often, people hear about a past they can’t control, not a future they can. That changes with “feedforward” – a radical approach to sharing feedback that unleashes the performance and potential of everyone around us.     From managers and coaches trying to energize their teams, to teachers hoping to motivate their students, to parents looking to empower their children, people from all walks of life want others to hear what they have to say. Through a lively blend of stories and studies, The Feedback Fix shows them how by presenting a six-part REPAIR plan that spreads feedforward across boardrooms, classrooms, and even dining rooms.     Even with drastic changes in how we work and live, the experiences we create for others – joy or fear, growth or decline, success or failure – still hang on the feedback we share. The Feedback Fix makes a compelling argument for getting what we want by giving others what they need – all while rebuilding the way we lead, learn, and live.

Review :
Anyone who has suffered through excruciating performance evaluations knows that giving and receiving feedback can be a fruitless experience, if not downright counterproductive. As an alternative, leadership and communication consultant Joe Hirsch introduces “feedforward,” a future-oriented approach. He explores six ways to fix traditional feedback. Citing numerous case studies, including data from multinational companies, state schools, leadership training facilities and new areas of research, he shows that feedforward is a life skill that is crucial to business, education, parenting, and more. Shows the remarkable things that can happen when businesses, schools and families rethink traditional feedback. Highly recommended. Most people dislike one thing more than giving feedback: receiving it. Joe Hirsch is here to fix that. This delightful, evidence-based book is a breath of fresh air, and I’ve already started trying out his terrific tips at work and at home. The giving and receiving of feedback is fraught territory, easily the most challenging part of my work as a teacher. The Feedback Fix is a fantastic resource, with practical, actionable advice on how to formulate quality feedback for others and hear the constructive criticism and praise. I highly recommend this book and am grateful to Joe Hirsch for writing so eloquently about a topic that makes me squirm with discomfort. Joe Hirsch masterfully takes us on a journey that completely redefines what we think about learning, development, and performance. His book is smartly-written, provocative, and insightful - a must-have for any curious learner or leader committed to unleashing potential around them. Finding mastery involves searching deep inside yourself, refining a craft, adjusting to feedback (both internally and externally) and authentically expressing oneself in a wide range of environments. The Feedback Fix drills into the value and mechanics of how to use feedback, how to give feedback, and how to accelerate growth. Successful relationships are grounded in honesty, authenticity and respectful communication. A cornerstone of effective parenting, marriages, teaching and workplace success is the ability to give feedback on progress in a manner that promotes growth rather than resentment. Joe Hirsch has written a fascinating and practical book that is presented in a manner that is an engaging mix of studies, stories and detailed explanations on how to transform feedback into an effective, energizing source of creativity, enhanced connection and motivation for change. I know that the paradigm shift presented in this book will change the way I give feedback to my students, colleagues and family members. I highly recommend this book for anybody who is seeking a novel perspective on this all important aspect of effective relationships. The Feedback Fix is relevant and timely across all disciplines and settings. Joe Hirsch has gifted us with a roadmap for more productive, more courageous and more authentic conversations that will lead to lasting and positive change.
