Why do people feel the need to give feedback in the first place? Often, it comes from a genuine desire to help. Whether it’s a boss trying to improve your performance, a friend offering advice or even a stranger making a suggestion, feedback is usually an attempt to guide, correct or provide a new perspective. The underlying motivation is often to help the other person grow, avoid mistakes or succeed in the future. People feel that by pointing something out, they’re contributing to someone’s improvement. However, how feedback is delivered plays a huge role in whether it helps or hinders.
