Most managers think they give regular feedback. Most teams disagree.
The gap between what's said in the manager's office and what's heard at the
employee's desk is where engagement quietly leaks away.
Three small habits change everything:
→ Make it specific.
"Good job" is not feedback.
"The way you closed that meeting
kept us on track"
→ Make it timely. Feedback aged 6 weeks is gossip. Aged 6 minutes, it's coaching.
→ Make it two-way. Ask what your team needs from you before you tell them what
you need from them.
Better feedback isn't softer. It's clearer.
How would your team rate the feedback they get from you?
