Deliver Effective Feedback
Feedback is how performance gets shaped in real time, not at the end of the quarter or during an annual review. Vague praise does not reinforce the right behaviors, and delayed criticism breeds resentment. Leaders who deliver specific, timely feedback with a healthy balance of reinforcement and correction create a culture where people know where they stand and improve continuously.
