Importance of Openness in Feedback

When giving feedback, it's crucial to assess if the person is open or closed to receiving it. If they have just performed poorly or had a negative experience, it may be best to wait for a more receptive moment. Steve Magnus emphasizes the need to create an open and receptive state in the person before delivering feedback. This can be achieved by allowing time for the individual to decompress, engaging in positive conversation, or seeking out the right psychological state for receiving criticism.
