“The problem with inexperienced drivers is they don’t look to the left and right as they drive. They expect the road to be a straight shot to where they want to go. They don’t use their mirrors or turn signals until it’s too late and they drive off the road, or even worse, force someone else off the road. They don't pay attention.”
-Robert Knight (NC Law Enforcement Specialized Driving Instructor, 2020)
Learning to provide effective feedback can be compared to learning to drive. If we focus in one direction without attending to the recipient's way of knowing, the feedback may go unheard causing us to miss our destination. Without reflection and consideration, we could unnecessarily cause others to veer off the path they are traveling. Drago-Severson and Blum-DeStefano (2016) recommend that " a developmental approach to feedback can help us pay attention to potential enhancers and inhibitors of effective communication, supervision, and collaboration, so that all of us can better enact and make good on the noble intentions driving our work" (p. 19). As receivers and givers of feedback, it is essential we learn to navigate through the obstacles and grow in our capacity to support others and ourselves by safely and successfully navigating the road of effective feedback.
