Providing (and receiving feedback) is critical for organizational success and personal and professional growth, and it also builds trusting relationships.<\/span>

Having said that, many of us struggle with the most effective way to address actions and behaviors that could be improved upon, or that we consider downright disruptive.<\/span>

Does this resonate at all? Based on a\u00a0Harris Poll<\/a><\/span>, roughly 40% of leaders shared they are\u00a0uncomfortable providing feedback especially when they feel their employee may respond negatively.<\/span>

In a\u00a0Harvard Business Review article<\/a><\/span>, Steve Vamos shares that one of the biggest mistakes we may make is waiting too long to share the feedback, or even worse, avoiding it totally.<\/span>

Besides being timely, he also suggests taking the time to plan our delivery. Answering the 6 questions below will help with delivering the feedback:<\/span>

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What am I expecting this employee to achieve in their role this quarter?<\/span><\/div>
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Are my expectations reasonable, and have they been communicated?<\/span><\/div>
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Am I able to explain how their work contributes to the larger team<\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 goals?<\/span><\/div>
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If I believe they are falling short, what evidence do I have to support<\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 that?<\/span><\/div>
5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Can I give them examples of what\u2019s not working?<\/span><\/div>
6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What guidance will help them get back on track?<\/span><\/div>
Once we plan our delivery, our feedback must be clear. What are the specifics around the point\/issue\/action being addressed (provide details), what was the impact, and what could be done differently to obtain desired results?<\/span>

Ask the employee for their thoughts and obtain their perspective about how you can help them meet your expectations. Have follow-up meetings, and you may also want to update development plans and goals, so progress is more readily tracked.<\/span>

When it comes to feedback, plan your message and don\u2019t delay!<\/span>

Sincerely,<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
