But for many small teams, it’s avoided until it’s too late. **Why Feedback Matters:** - Builds trust and transparency - Helps people improve and grow - Prevents issues from festering **Tips to Make Feedback Normal:** - Let the team know that everyone should expect to give and receive feedback to help improve performance and capability - Give small bits of feedback regularly – don't wait until a yearly formal performance review process as the only means to deliver feedback - Use a simple model such as Situation – Behaviour – Impact - Ask for feedback yourself to lead by example *Tip:* Feedback doesn’t have to be always formal — even a quick comment after a meeting can make a difference.
