Far too often feedback is done poorly, too infrequently, or not at all. This is the first of a two-part series on providing feedback that is timely, actionable, and motivational.

But first we address some misconceptions. We explain why there is no such thing as "negative feedback." We also delve into why the "sandwich" approach to feedback does not work.

Then we outline specific, concrete steps for offering feedback that is genuinely effective. We look at the kind of language to use so that your feedback is clear, precise, and straightforward, without causing offense. Importantly we show how to structure feedback that is can be acted on easily.
