Many insightful articles have been written about how to give feedback. Interestingly, the subject of what constitutes effective feedback seems much harder to find. We are therefore particularly excited to share a brand new HBR article from Boda Managing Partner Jennifer Porter that outlines a fascinating approach to delivering strategic developmental feedback.
We’re also very proud to announce an upcoming HBR Facebook event featuring Boda Director of Learning Deborah Grayson Riegel. Finally, we welcome Peter Kim to Boda’s board of advisors.
All the best,
The Boda Team
