Constructive Feedback

Feedback is informing another person about the effect their behavior is having on a fellow coworker, the team, the patient, or the organization. Giving constructive feedback lets an individual know about areas where he or she can improve his or her performance. It is not the same as criticism; constructive feedback is descriptive and helps the person understand his position in relation to expected job behavior. Feedback also recognizes good performance, which is always a powerful motivator. People want to be recognized for the good that they have done, and this recognition encourages more of their appreciated actions.
