Get harsh feedback

Giving feedback is hard. We can lower the friction to giving it using Chris Wheatley's T.A.C.T. framework:

Thankfulness. Calm the initial awkwardness with gratitude.

Acknowledgment. Make the other person feel seen and heard first so you can have an authentic dialog.

Commitment. Honor the feedback with the change you'll make if you agree with it.

Thankfulness. Send a note later to reinforce and reward the behavior of giving feedback.

Happy Hackin'
