High performers offer more positive feedback to peers; in fact, high-performing teams share nearly six times more positive feedback than average teams. Meanwhile, low-performing teams share almost double as much negative feedback than average teams. People who received positive feedback accompanied by negative emotional signals reported feeling worse about their performance than participants who received good-natured negative feedback. I have personally had MBAs and executives coach one another, which has been a very efficient and cost-efficient way to improve giving and receiving feedback.
