Author Joanna Dodd Massey: Giving Feedback; How To Be Honest Without Being Hurtful

…Constructive feedback is another term that elicits a lot of stress. I recommend that we get rid of these terms, which were created by Baby Boomers and Silent Generation workers, because Millennials and Generation Z have ushered in a more woke way of dealing with other human beings.

As a part of our series about “How To Give Honest Feedback without Being Hurtful”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Joanna Dodd Massey, Ph.D., MBA.
