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.
