Feedback

Seth Godin’s rules for giving great feedback:

Give me feedback, no matter what.

No one cares about your opinion. We want your

analysis.

Say the right thing at the right

time. If you have something nice to say, please say it.

Feedback has more effect on achievement than any other factor.
