Timing is everything
As leaders, we know the importance of feedback.
But we don’t always get to it when we should.
Here’s the thing:
Feedback is most effective when it's given promptly.
How many times have you received feedback weeks or even months after a project was completed?
It's frustrating.
Not to mention, it's less impactful.
That's why being timely with feedback is crucial.
When you provide feedback in real time:
☑ It's fresh in the minds of your direct reports.
☑ It allows them to reflect on their performance and make adjustments immediately, resulting in continuous improvement.
☑ It also shows that you value and care about the progress of your team members.
☑ It creates a culture of open communication and trust, fostering a positive work environment.
Whether it's quick praise for a job well done or constructive feedback to help someone improve, providing feedback promptly is the goal.
Timing is everything when it comes to feedback.
