FEEDBACK = GROWTH

Good feedback builds great teams.

Most people don’t fail because they lack skill—they fail because they never knew what wasn’t working. Honest, kind, and timely feedback helps your talent grow into the role you hired them for.

Start with this mindset:

Feedback is a gift, not a critique. It shows you care. It moves things forward.

Why It Matters

• Avoids small issues becoming big blockers

• Builds a culture of openness and continuous learning

• Increases performance, motivation, and retention

• Encourages your talent to take initiative and improve confidently

Feedback isn’t just about correcting—it’s about unlocking potential.

How to Give Feedback That Lands

• Be clear and specific. Skip the vague “you’re doing fine.” Instead: “I really appreciate how you handled that client follow-up yesterday—it showed initiative.”

• Focus on behaviors, not personality. Feedback should help, not label.

• Make it a two-way conversation. Ask: “How did that feel on your end?” or “Anything you’d do differently?”

• Reinforce what’s working. Positive feedback boosts confidence—just don’t sugarcoat if something needs improvement.

Bonus Tip:

Normalize feedback. Don’t wait for things to go wrong. Schedule regular check-ins that include feedback, so it feels expected—not scary.

Try this rhythm:

• Weekly 1:1s → Light touch, quick feedback

• Monthly reviews → Deeper reflection, broader trends

• End-of-project debriefs → What worked, what to improve
