Why do some leaders avoid giving feedback?
You’ve likely seen it:
🤔 Managers skipping performance reviews.
🤔 Team leads offering vague critiques.
🤔 Bosses dwelling only on the negatives.
But why does this happen?
For many leaders, it boils down to one of two things: fear of conflict or not knowing how to give feedback constructively.
Next time you’re in a feedback conversation, pause and ask:
“How can I be both honest and supportive?”
Because regular, balanced feedback isn’t just a skill—it’s the foundation for employee growth and engagement.
Here are 3 ways to level up your constructive feedback game:
✅ Be specific: cite examples, not generalities.
✅ Focus on actions, not personality traits.
✅ Share actionable steps for improvement.
