☞ The various elements of a communication cycle are :
1. Sender- the person beginning the communication. 2. Message- the information that the sender wants to convey. 3. Channel- the means by which the information is sent. 4. Receiver- the person to whom the message is sent. 5. Feedback- the receiver’s acknowledgement and response to the message.
☞ Feedback, if shared properly, can help reinforce existing strengths and can increase the recipient’s abilities to rectify errors.
☞ A good feedback is one that is specific, timely, polite, offering continuing support.
☞ Feedback is like the backbone of the entire process of communication as:
1. It validates effective listening. 2. It motivates sender. 3. It boosts learning. 4. It improves performance.
