Driving teaches us an interesting lesson about feedback. Someone cuts you off - you react instantly, maybe with a curse. A driver lets you in - you thank them immediately. It's immediate feedback, natural and unfiltered.
Now, imagine applying that same principle at work. Around 70% of tech employees want feedback; about their work, their skills, their general approach. They crave it because feedback is fuel for growth.
When someone messes up, tell them right away. When they do something great, acknowledge it in the moment. Don't wait. Just like you don't save your reaction for later on the road, don't delay giving feedback at the office.
Feedback helps others improve and grow. It's simple, quick, and powerful.
