Why you’re bad at giving feedback

Feedback is essential but can be tricky to deliver effectively. Many people use the “shit sandwich” approach, which includes layering criticism between two compliments. However, this can come off as insincere. Instead, give specific feedback focused on the impact of the work. Avoid stories and stick to the facts to prevent miscommunication. Regular feedback sessions are crucial for growth. PostHog hosts feedback dinners to promote team trust. Celebrating wins is just as important as addressing improvements. Embracing natural tendencies can lead to surprising successes. For example, Paul excelled at multitasking and contributed valuable features to the product. Be direct, specific, and focused on impact when giving feedback.
