Neo Vision’s Weekly Rant #22
Where we RANT about what goes exceptionally good and wildly bad when you turn your company digital
The other day I was at the gym with Adi (our CEO), and somehow we started a debate about feedback, which I also discussed in the last week’s newsletter.
It’s impossible to build great products without feedback from your client and audience, that’s for sure. The question is: could there be too much feedback? Can giving too much feedback be detrimental? At first, I was reticent, and I still think that too many variables are in play to have a universally valid answer to this question. Still, Adi came up with some reasonable arguments, and we were both curious if ChatGPT would confirm his beliefs. He did, and he was very confident about its answer.
Can giving too much feedback be detrimental?
ChatGPT: Yes, giving too much feedback can be detrimental in a number of ways. Here are a few potential negative consequences of giving too much feedback:
Overwhelm: If you give too much feedback at once, it can be overwhelming for the recipient, leading to confusion and difficulty in processing the information. This can be especially true if the feedback is critical or negative.
Diminishing returns: Giving a large amount of feedback may not necessarily lead to better results, as people can only process and act on so much information at once. This can lead to a decrease in motivation and engagement, as the recipient may feel like they are being constantly criticized or nitpicked.
Loss of trust: If you give too much feedback, the recipient may start to feel like you don’t trust them or that you are constantly second-guessing their decisions. This can damage the trust and confidence in the relationship.
It’s important to strike a balance when giving feedback and consider the timing, frequency, and content of the feedback you provide.

It's important to remember that the Spotify model is not a destination. Ironically enough, Spotify doesn’t leverage the original implementation of the Spotify model anymore; they evolved and adapted the model to fit their changing organization. Discover the Spotify model by reading this article
