How to Give Feedback

One of the most challenging things about becoming a manager is building the confidence to give effective feedback to your team. Delivering positive or negative feedback can feel daunting, you might not want to come across as soft and gushing or worry that the receiver won’t like you or that giving feedback may be pointless and unhelpful. But giving feedback is crucial to keeping your team on track, boosting quality and performance, to avoiding or repeating mistakes. So here are my tips on giving feedback.
