great book.

great way of breaking down each individual area 4 aspect of giving effective and continuous feedback.

Old School Basics

A basic old school reminder of how to give feedback. Some emotional intelligence, but nothing new to the corporate world since 1995.

Practical information slightly stale delivery

good info. good insight. monotone and slightly dry. definitely useful. not bad for a short book.

maybe too theoretic

i loved it because it highlights the general approach. however some more concrete examples would be useful.
