Purpose of feedback

Start feedback by explaining its purpose, emphasizing it’s for learning and development, not criticism.

Request feedback 

Feedback can feel hierarchical and top-down sometimes. Make sure that you open the door to gather feedback in return from your employees.

Stimulate

skills

Check in on the recipient’s progress, e.g., follow up on improvements in presentation skills and offer support if needed.

Keep it

private

Always give feedback privately; the recipient decides if they want to share it.

Be

empathetic

Receiving feedback can be uncomfortable, so approach it empathetically to avoid defensiveness and encourage improvement.
