Like team leaders in any industry, Call Center managers mustaccomplish countless tasks in a given day. From presiding overcall allocations and reading and responding to e-mails, toresponding to supervisors' requests, reviewing resumes andsetting up interviews and meetings, it's a wonder that they areable to walk the Call Center floor to oversee regularoperations. This makes delivering one-minute feedback crucial toa manager's skill set. Research shows that delivering effective feedback increases anemployee's productivity, confidence in doing the job and futurepotential contributions to the success of the company. Mostemployees feel that they don't get enough feedback from theirmanagers, and managers often feel that they don't have enoughtime to deliver effective feedback.
