Why Feedback Quality Matters
Feedback is one of the most powerful components of supervision. However, not all feedback leads to improvement.
General comments such as 'good job' or 'needs improvement' provide limited guidance. In contrast, targeted feedback tied to specific behaviors supports meaningful learning and skill refinement.
High-quality feedback helps trainees understand not only what to change, but why those changes matter.
- Specific rather than general
- Focused on observable behavior
- Delivered consistently over time
- Connected to clear expectations
