Actions have consequences. And when the consequences are undesirable, we typically call these actions, these behaviors, “mistakes.” Feedback provides a way to clarify the relationship between behaviors and consequences without using vague words. This is effective both for positive and for adjusting feedback, both of which are essential for continuously driving improved individual and team performance. After mastering the basics, learning to adjust the consequences you convey to the listener can dramatically improve the impact your feedback has… not only in that moment, but potentially for a recipients whole career.
