Not everyone is skilled at giving feedback. This places a greater emphasis
on the "seeker" to handle the "giver" in a way that will give the "seeker"
what he or she needs. In other words, people need to use techniques
that will assist the "giver" of the feedback to do the job effectively. This
video outlines a variety of skills and techniques viewers can use to deal
with difficult situations when receiving feedback.
How-to training points:
Solicit both positive and negative feedback
Respond if someone criticises you in public
Seek more details when someone gives you vague feedback
Reposition someone's long-winded feedback and get precise details
React positively if someone makes an aggressive personal attack

(over 70 pages) covering all four videos.
