Ask for Immediate Feedback
Much of the feedback we get at annual, semi-annual, or even quarterly reviews can feel stale and outdated. Feedback is most useful when it is frequent, fair, and quickly follows the task or occasion you're curious about. Twitter's format — immediate, short, and to-the-point — is one way to give on-the-spot feedback. After a presentation, ask your audience to send feedback to your Twitter handle. Or ask your team to tweet you the answer to a question such as "What's the one thing I could do to make your job easier?" Remember that Twitter is public, so if you don't want the rest of the world in on your messages, consider a private microblogging tool such as Yammer or Rypple.
Today's Management Tip was adapted from "Use Twitter to Collect Micro-Feedback" by Jeanne C Meister and Karie Willyerd.
