In Conversation - Cecilia Gorman Top Five Tips For Giving Feedback
“We've got to set expectations with the employee. And when we say a word like expectations in that way, it feels like, Oh, we've got to be the school principal. We've got to tell you the rules, because if you don't follow the rules that I'm going to reprimand you. So, people don't really like when they say, Oh, you've got to set expectations. But really, all it is communicating how you want the person to operate. How do you want this deliverable? How do you want them to be?”
