Letโ€™s say - Ritu is a team manager.

One of her team members, Sameer, is smart and well-liked.

But lately, he's slipping.
โ€ข Missed timelines
โ€ข Vague updates
โ€ข Quiet in meetings

Ritu hesitates to address it directly.
โ€œHeโ€™s usually good,โ€ she tells herself.
โ€œI donโ€™t want to demotivate him.โ€

Weeks pass.
Work quality dips.
Tension rises.

Ritu is waiting for performance to fix itself.
But without timely feedback, Sameer canโ€™t course-correct.

Introduce the A.I.R. Feedback Framework โ€” to hold performance conversations with empathy and clarity:

1. Awareness โ€“ โ€œHereโ€™s what Iโ€™m noticing...โ€

2. Impact โ€“ โ€œHereโ€™s how itโ€™s affecting the team/projectโ€ฆโ€

3. Request โ€“ โ€œHereโ€™s what needs to change moving forwardโ€ฆโ€

Also, encourage a coaching mindset:
Ask instead of accuse.
Guide instead of guard.

Example:
โ€œSameer, I noticed a delay in your last two deliverables. Itโ€™s affecting team timelines. Whatโ€™s getting in the way? How can we support you to improve this?โ€

โ€ข You conduct a role-play exercise:
โ€“ One manager, one underperforming team member.
โ€“ Trainer observes tone, clarity, emotional control.

โ€ข After the feedback is delivered, switch roles.
โ€“ Let the โ€œemployeeโ€ explain how it felt.

โ€ข Debrief:
โ€“ What built trust?
โ€“ What triggered defensiveness?

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜?
โ€ข Issues addressed early, not emotionally
โ€ข Team members feel supported, not judged
โ€ข Managers lead with clarity, not avoidance

๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†:
Feedback doesnโ€™t have to bruise. It can build.
Train your managers to lead tough conversations with heart and structure.

Because silence doesnโ€™t help people grow - it just leaves them stuck.
