Situations that require constructive feedback include ongoing performance discussions, coaching, and corrective guidance. Clues that feedback is needed include requests for opinion, persistent problems, repeated errors, unmet expectations, and disturbing work habits. The goal is to provide guidance and support to achieve successful performance.
