Giving feedback is a sensitive issue. If you see a colleague struggling, your instinct is to help them improve. But if you’ve got nothing positive to say, you risk hurting somebody’s feelings. How can you let your teammates know they could be doing better work?
With a change of attitude, the feedback process can become a positive force within your team. It is all about creating a culture of feedback and learning how to criticize effectively. For example, you might begin by organizing a pre-feedback meeting to discuss the importance of feedback and the best ways of giving and receiving it.
Remember, you give negative feedback because you care. Try to introduce the subject to those around you, and you should start to see the quality of work improve over time.
