Help me give effective feedback:
**Structure (SBI-I)**
- Situation: When and where
- Behavior: What you observed (facts only)
- Impact: How it affected you/team/results
- Invitation: Ask for their perspective
**Delivery**
- Private setting
- Timely (close to the event)
- Specific (not "you always...")
- Behavior-focused (not personality)
**Balance**
- Acknowledge what's working
- Be direct about issues
- Focus on future improvement
- Offer support
**Avoid**
- Sandwich method (praise-criticism-praise)
- "But" negating positives
- Mind reading ("you obviously didn't care")
- Vague praise ("good job")
**Follow-up**
- Specific improvement actions
- Check-in schedule
- Resources to help
