If you’re like most managers, you probably hate giving constructive feedback to your team. It’s awkward, it’s uncomfortable, and it often doesn’t work. You may question whether it’s worth the trouble to tell an employee that what they’re doing is wrong. Is it worth the risk of a long-drawn out conversation when there are more pressing things to do? Is it worth the risk of hurting a team member’s feelings or opening the door for potential conflict? Perhaps you answer “no” and deprive your employees of the constructive critiques that aid in their development — and that they deeply crave.
