The Zen of giving feedback
Feedback is something we all hate to do. I teach this stuff and yet I sometimes cringe at having to deliver constructive feedback (we consultants and coaches call it "constructive" or "developmental" instead of "negative"), and I can forget to offer positive feedback, appreciation, and praise. But feedback is essential, because without it how can anyone know what they should keep doing because it's working, and what they should stop doing or change immediately before it causes real problems. The question is, how do you give feedback, and how can you possibly be Zen about it?
The Zen-ness, as always, comes from your attitude, and your attitude comes from perspective, practice, and preparation.
