9 Positive and encouraging

Another characteristic that exists in constructive feedback is positivity and encouragement. Positive and encouraging feedback should be balancing the strengths and areas of improvement in one’s work (Occupational therapy Practice Education Collaborative- Queensland, n.d.).

In other words, it needs to be practical and specific (Occupational therapy Practice Education Collaborative- Queensland, n.d.).

Examples:

“Travis keeps up with his great performance when working alone but he avoids being a team player

A Constructive performance review would be-

“I respect people who have the caliber to solve problems alone and move ahead. They learn from their experiences, and I guess you’re one such person Travis.

However, I must also emphasize that everyone requires help at some point in time. It may be either you or someone else who might be needing an extra hand. And that is the perfect moment when you should exhibit your capabilities and help others out by sharing your knowledge. Also, at the same time, you can observe how others do their work and learn a few more things.

So, I would suggest you actively take part in team-based projects and help your team excel with your capabilities added to it””(Angshuman, para 13).
