Balanced & Fair

Address both strengths and development areas to create a complete picture of performance and potential.

Timely & Relevant

Deliver feedback promptly when it can have the greatest impact on performance and development.

Constructive & Respectful

Frame feedback in a way that maintains dignity and encourages growth rather than demotivating recipients.

How to Use These Templates Effectively

Feedback is most effective when delivered thoughtfully and at the right time. Follow these steps to get the most out of our templates:

Choose the Right Template

Select the template that best fits your feedback goals. Consider the relationship context, purpose of the feedback, and what you hope to achieve. Each template is designed for different scenarios.

Gather Specific Examples

Before providing feedback, collect concrete examples of behaviors or outcomes to reference. Feedback based on specific instances is more credible and actionable than general impressions.

Customize the Language

Adapt the template to your organization's culture and language. Use terminology familiar to your team and align the feedback with your company values and performance expectations.

Choose the Right Time and Place

Deliver feedback in a private, distraction-free environment. For constructive feedback, consider the recipient's schedule and emotional state to ensure they can receive it effectively.

Follow Up

Schedule follow-up conversations to discuss progress, answer questions, and provide additional support. Effective feedback is an ongoing dialogue, not a one-time event.

Quick Feedback Tips

Be Timely

The most effective feedback is delivered close to the event or behavior being discussed, while details are fresh.

Focus on Behavior

Address specific actions and behaviors rather than personality traits or assumptions about intentions.

Avoid Feedback Sandwiches

The practice of sandwiching criticism between compliments can diminish your message and create confusion.
