The lack of feedback shows up in the workplace as errors, botched plans, political in-fighting, lost productivity, lost profits, and, ultimately, lost jobs. This ambiguity is the foundation of errors, misunderstandings, and strained relationships. However, through the simple use of feedback skills, these vague statements can be transformed into specific, effective communications, saving many dollars, time, and headaches in the end. Studies show that a lack of clear communication is a major factor in nearly every organizational problem.
