Let's navigate the delicate art of feedback together. Share your strategies for constructive critiques that empower, not deflate.

In my experience, you have to be candid but strategic. I often defer to the initial goals we set as aligned with the company broader goals to highlight where we are currently and what needs to be done to meet our trajectories. By taking a thoughtful and reciprocal approach to constructive feedback will enable the team member to feel respected and valued as part of a growth plan for the best interest of all.

Offer Growth-Oriented Feedback Providing feedback for growth requires a delicate balance: Highlight Strengths First: Start by acknowledging their strengths and contributions to build confidence. Be Specific and Actionable: Offer clear, specific feedback on areas for improvement, focusing on actionable steps rather than criticism. Encourage Development: Frame the feedback as an opportunity for growth, emphasizing your belief in their potential and offering support where needed. It’s about empowering your team member with feedback that fosters growth without diminishing their confidence.
