Make Kind & Honest Feedback a Team Habit 

Gretchen Napier, MSHA, SHRM-SCP, FACMPE – Senior Medical Practice Consultant, SVMIC

Make Kind & Honest Feedback a Team Habit

One of the primary barriers to effective leadership is lack of effective feedback to staff. The primary reason most leaders do not provide helpful feedback is because it feels uncomfortable. Giving feedback, especially criticism, is painfully difficult, but it is still your duty as a leader to give it. On the other hand, if you deliver the feedback in a harsh or overbearing way, it may do more damage than it helps. You owe it to people to help them improve and to help them improve at the earliest possible moment.
