Feedback is supposed to be the breakfast of the champions. However, many managers deliver it as instant food, making it less healthy.
Such managers pride themselves in their ability to give instant feedback.
Problem is such instant feedback is mostly an excuse to vent and put blame when things go wrong. They are oriented more towards the situation than the person receiving the feedback.
Rather than instant, feedback needs to be delivered well cooked, balanced, and at a regular pre-determined frequency - just like a wholesome breakfast.
Feedback is always about the individual and how they could get better. Period.
