This document provides tips for effectively giving and receiving feedback: 1. Give positive feedback immediately but wait to give negative feedback until emotions have subsided. 2. Ask for the person's self-assessment first before sharing your own opinion to understand their perspective. 3. Focus feedback on specific behaviors or actions rather than general praise or criticism. 4. Limit feedback to the one or two most important points rather than overwhelming with multiple items. 5. Provide more praise than criticism and "cushion" critical feedback with praise before and after.
