If Feedback is a Gift, Why Does it Never Feel Like One
summary
Argues that feedback becomes useful only when expectations, cadence and specificity are concrete: set measurable role outcomes, run a monthly feedback one-on-one, keep a feedback log to record examples, and use a frame-of-reference opener (“within the limits of my perception I offer...”) to avoid assuming facts. Replaces vague start/stop/continue notes with specific incidents, documented impact, and actionable next steps, adds support like mentorship or coaching, and enforces a 48‑hour rule to raise misalignments promptly.
