TEN TIPS ON GIVING FEEDBACK

-- Give at least five times more positive feedback than negative.

-- Give feedback soon after the behavior you want to respond to.

-- Pick the moment when both of you are in the right frame of mind.

-- Keep it private. Feedback is not a spectator sport.

-- Prepare. Take the time to organize what you want to say.

-- Avoid generalities. Cite specific examples.

-- Focus on the issue or behavior, not the person.

-- Pay attention to body language. Adjust your feedback accordingly.

-- Keep it simple. Don't focus on too many things at once.

-- End on a positive note.
