It is really not easy to give good feedback. Here are some tips!
Choose one issue at a time! Focusing on too many skills or behaviors at once is confusing and overwhelming, and can feel like an all-out attack.
Don’t be too critical or focus too heavily on the negative. Feedback should inspire the other person to improve, not make them wallow in where they went wrong. Giving a piece of good feedback with negative feedback makes it easier to swallow.
But don’t avoid real problems, either. If there’s an issue, don’t be afraid to state it.
Avoid vagueness. Use specific examples, and connect those behaviors to the impact they have.
Leave plenty of time for the recipient of your feedback to ask or answer questions and respond to what you’ve said.
