Welcome to Manager Tools. Today's show, Event-based Feedback. Here we go. I must admit, like many of our listeners I sometimes find giving feedback to folks

just it's just an ongoing battle with me as with a lot of folks right and in this case sorry Maggie

I'm going to use her as an example here, but it's it's one of those things like we love Maggie Maggie is is

awesome she's awesome she's awesome as as an employee she's awesome it has a person

as a mother as a wife she's awesome in many ways, but sometimes she makes mistakes like you do and like I do like everybody else is, right?

And because she's so awesome, sometimes I find myself like hesitating a little bit, right? I don't want to hurt her feelings right right and often Maggie doesn't make big mistakes

They're small things right right we still as managers we have to work through that we have to work through that, we have to fight through that, right?

We totally have all kinds of reasons.

Everybody comes up with all kinds of reasons not to talk to their directs about performance.

And one of the ones that people often say is, you know, what if somebody does a bunch of stuff all at once?

You know, I can't give it to him right away, maybe, or there's just too much, I don't want to burden them you know the whole what should I do good

first or bad first right is there a writer way and you know a lot of times when I go

back to our old you you know, our cynical expression, which is the land of the blind,

the one-eyed person is king or queen, it really wouldn't matter if good came first or bad came first,

just so long as you gave lots of feedback to people in a

professional and polite way right right? I guess we've helped people a little bit

in getting confused relative to getting a lot of feedback at once because we've told

people don't do it right when you start giving

feedback don't give them feedback are 20 things and then we really haven't covered

what we're going to cover today is how do you give feedback and when is it appropriate to give

a lot of feedback, right?

Because that's, because people, they conflate things, right?
