Vague, Late, and Public Feedback

Three of the most damaging feedback mistakes are being vague, being late, and being public. This lesson covers each and how to avoid them.

Vague feedback like "you need to be more professional" gives the person nothing to work with. Always tie feedback to specific behaviors and outcomes.

Late feedback loses its relevance and impact. The closer your feedback is to the event, the more effective it will be. And never deliver constructive feedback publicly — it damages trust and morale.
