God has made us all different. We need to keep this mind when we do the whole thing of feedback: experience, personality, gender, cultural background and their role.
We need to be:
- Thinking about the relationships around us and getting to know the people we need to give feedback to.
- Caring personally and challenging radically leads to good feedback.
- Making sure that people know their role so they know what they are supposed to be doing, but personalising it to "where are you?" and "where should you be?"
- Keeping mind some people need to be challenged and some people need to be encouraged.
- Keeping mind some people are sensitive and some people need be given more clear feedback.
- Thinking about the importance and challenges of cross gender feedback.
- Considering different cultures and how they give and receive feedback.
- Reflecting on real delegation and roles.
- Remembering that different people have different emotional responses to feedback.
