How to give great feedback

Great feedback isn't about convincing others to do things your way - it is about giving them insight on how to improve on their own methods.

Giving feedback requires an awareness of what you're saying and how you say it.

  • Make the feedback personal. Give specific examples.
  • Reassure the person you are trying to help them improve on themselves.
  • Be aware of your tone. You are a team member, not an accuser.
  • Choose your timing wisely. The end of a busy workday is often not a good time for feedback.
