Giving feedback when it’s timely allows it to be taken constructively, rather than as a criticism after the fact.
Feedback in a one-on-one setting shows respect and keeps the conversation collaborative.
Escalation is necessary when an issue is beyond the control of your immediate team or when the impact could derail the project.
When you escalate, provide specific details about the problem, its impact, and any solutions tried so far. This helps leaders act swiftly with the full context.
