How to give feedback to others?
Before giving feedback, understand your intention as this sets your tone and quality of feedback, whether your purpose is to criticize or to help another person to improve his behavior.
One of the effective ways to give feedback is by adopting the following pattern in your communication.
“ what you notice/observe as good or bad behavior ” and “ some reasonings to be good or bad” and " suggestions to improve."
For example,
you observe some repeated mistakes by your team member while preparing a presentation, and you can point out like this
“I observed repeated formatting issue in your presentation and how this performance will irritate the audience on readability and how you can improve by so and so methods."
or you would like to give positive feedback about your colleague’s presentation, and your feedback can be like this
"I liked the way you simplified the complex problem into the simple picture, and this helps the audience to connect the concept quickly."
Giving feedback is the art of communication, and this can be improved in multiple ways when your intention of providing feedback to help or develop others.
