Leadership:
The Importance of
Actionable Feedback
MICHAEL ZETSER
The Importance of Immediate
Feedback
In terms of delivering this feedback, it
should, ideally, be given as soon after the
event, task, or situation that has prompt-
ed it, rather than waiting until the staff
member’s next annual review or one-to-
one meeting. Feeding back within a day
is best, if possible. Unless the issue is a
difficult one (in which case it is best to
have the meeting in a private room), it
could be delivered via an email chat or by
having a quick discussion in the corridor.
Delivering Feedback Effectively
When giving feedback, good leaders
know that they need to be able to chal-
lenge the other person directly for it to
be most effective, whilst also demonstrat-
ing that they care personally. A critique
should be delivered clearly, without
aggression and with compassion for the
best results. A mix of empathy and di-
rectness is advisable.

Leadership:
The Importance of
Actionable Feedback
The ability to give actionable feedback that can improve the
performance of an employee or colleague is one of the traits of
a good business leader.
