How to give and receive feedbacks


Feedback Covenant: This is the set of rules those have to be followed when you are engaged in a group where giving and receiving feedback is an  integral  part. I have tried to divide some of the points under following headings

Maxims of quality:
I will carefully consider all feedback but retain the right to use or not use what is offered.
I will ask for clarification when needed, both for my own work and that of my colleagues.
I will provide specific feedback that is concrete.
I will keep a professional tone.
Maxims of Quantity:
I will strive to respond within 24 hours to new postings by team members.
I will provide detailed feedback balancing negative and positive points
Maxims of Relation:
I will keep an open mind when giving feedback as well as when receiving it.
I will offer positive support and help in every interaction.
 I will not take feedback personally if the receiver does not use suggested changes.
I will give constructive feedback ideas that can help improve the work as opposed to criticisms.
Maxim of manner:
I will offer positive support and help in every interaction.
I will try to  avoid obscurity and ambiguity.
