oDesk CEO shares his tips for giving unforgettable feedback that works.
Throughout my career, I’ve heard many managers complain that giving in-depth feedback takes too much time. But, trust me—the feedback you give will be worth it. The single most important thing you can do as a manager is to get the right people on the bus in a good environment. If you’re not providing feedback, you’re not creating that good, productive environment, and you’re potentially letting unseen problems fester.

#3 Set and clarify the context for your feedback.
#4 Create opportunities to identify and fix problems that are systemic.
#5 Find time to provide thorough feedback to make your own job easier.
