DAY 12: 90 Days. 90 Sparks.
Feedback is a gift. But only when it’s given with care.
Too vague? It confuses.
Too harsh? It shuts people down.
Too nice? It stalls progress.
The best feedback?
– Clear, not cryptic.
– Direct, not harsh.
– Actionable, not abstract.
That means:
– Say what worked.
– Call out what didn’t.
– Make it about the work, not the person.
And always remember:
If it only flows one way, it’s not feedback. It’s a lecture.
Today’s Spark:
Feedback should build, not bruise.
