Interview with Charles S. Jacobs, author of Management Rewired: Why Feedback Doesn't Work and Other Surprising Lessons from the Latest Brain Science
_____________

 

Mike Carruthers:
The job of any good manager is to give employees feedback on their job performance.

 

Charles S. Jacobs:
But forty years ago there was a study done at General Electric that looked at a performance appraisal process that they were using at that point. And what they found was that positive feedback had no effect one way or the other on performance.
 


Charles Jacobs

 Management consultant Charles Jacobs, author of the book Management Rewired

 

Negative feedback, if it had any affect, had the opposite of what was intended. It tended to drive down performance rather than drive up performance. And yet at the same time we've known it for forty years.However, most people are still offering feedback and administering running performance appraisals in the same old way.

 

So how could this be? Well Charles says that you have to understand that we all view the world through our own subjective lenses.

 

When I'm a manager and I'm giving feedback to an employee and I'm giving just pure objective constructive feedback that isn't necessarily the way the employee experiences it. Because of our high need for esteem we will tend, as employees to intrepret the feedback (no matter how objective it is) as punitive or as negative. So we're going to resist that feedback and in fact one of the ways we'll resist it is to do exactly the opposite of what the manager wants us to do.

 

So what does work?

 

Feedback works if it's self-generated. So what's a manager to do? A manager isn't to give feedback, a manager should instead ask the employee to perform self-feedback, so rather than to tell - ask.

With expected releases such as the limited “Bin 23″ Air Jordan 9 and let’s not forget about the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Infrared” Pack. So with all pairs dropping this June, we now get another June Air Jordan release.
The Air Jordan Flight SC-1 has been adored by many people, especially the basketball players. During the month of May, we have seen a couple Flight SC-1s. With the month coming to an end, this probably is the last colorway of May. This latest Air Jordan Flight SC-1 comes in a Black/Red/Grey colorway.
Is anyone else fed up with 9s or am I the only one? Well

if you love the 9s so much, this is your year. Just yesterday we got new images of the OG colorway Air Jordan IX Retro. Well now we have new images of the “Un-Powder” Air Jordan IX, which features a reverse colorway of the Powder Blue 9s, which are set to release this Saturday. I personally don’t like this colorway of the Air Jordan IX, but some people are bound to like. The sneaker sports an upper made of nubuck with patent leather used on the mudguard. Rumor has it that these 9s will be limited to just 2,000 pairs. Check out the newest images of the “Un-Powders” and let us know what you think.
This Flight SC-1 features a mesh like material on areas such as the toe box, side panel, and heel panel. The rest of the sneakers base uses black patent leather on the tongue, toe area, and just above the midsole. Other features include white contrast stitching, grey midsole, and a black outsole. Red accents appear on the tongue Jumpman and inner lining. Take a look at some more images after the jump and tell us if you think this is the best Flight SC-1 yet.
