In Kindly Review: The Secret to Giving and Receiving Feedback to Make Your Ideas Great is a transformative new approach to taking the sting out of the review process and unlocking the innovative and creative power of your teams. You’ll learn how to regain control over your creative feedback processes, from project start to completion, and get products to the finish line quickly and efficiently.

Dawn Crawford identifies eight “classic” styles of giving feedback with ways to manage up or even change your own style.

You’ll find:
