The concept of eedback is that feedback has a half life. If you pull someone aside after a meeting and say, hey, that wasn't the right way to do it, there's very little fog in the air about that. But if i save it for the annual review, you likely will have done the same thing 33 more times before the annual review. The one sunset rule: You should never let more than one sunset go by before giving feedback.
