Why is it better to discuss a person's work or behaviour rather than the person while giving feedback?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It keeps the feedback focused on clear, useful suggestions for improvement.
Feedback about a specific action or behaviour is more objective and actionable than a personal label. Saying “add sources to the report” identifies a change, while saying “you are careless” attacks identity and may create defensiveness. Focusing on work helps the person understand exactly how to improve.
