Giving constructive feedback is daunting at the best of times

For us in HR though, it is often part of our job description 📃

While some managers embrace feedback and value our opinions, others may not share the same enthusiasm😣

“𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 – 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨”

Yep – that is a direct quote from a manager I once tried to coach 🙄

(Spoiler alert – he didn’t 😜)

Everyone will take feedback differently, so you need to plan accordingly

Here are my tips for how to approach the conversation
