Provide effective feedback
Feedback is vitally important in the workplace. It helps individuals grow and projects stay on track, and in doing so, it helps companies progress. Yet many people find giving and receiving feedback in the workplace to be totally nerve-racking. Observe a specific behavior and then explain what you observed. Tell your colleagues what kind of impact that behavior had on you, the team, and/or the organization. Provide a suggestion or an expectation for future behavior (feedforward approach), or alternatively ask how the other person wants to move forward.
