Performance Gap (Quando Output Não Atende Expectativas)

I've noticed [specific behavior/output]. The impact is [X]. Let's discuss how to close that gap
Your output on [project] isn't meeting expectations. Here's what I need to see:
The quality of [deliverable] isn't at the level we discussed. Specifically:
I'm seeing a pattern of [behavior]. We need to address this
Your performance on [X] has been strong, but I'm concerned about [Y]
Let's talk about [metric/project]. You're tracking at [X], we need [Y]
💡 Dica

Seja específico. 'Your work quality' é vago. 'The last 3 reports had data errors' é acionável.

Behavioral Issues (Quando é Sobre Como, Não O Quê)

Can we talk about communication style? I've observed [pattern]
I want to flag something that's affecting the team dynamic:
Your tone in [meeting] came across as [dismissive/aggressive]. Here's the impact:
I need you to modify how you [specific behavior]
Multiple people have raised concerns about [behavior]. Let's discuss
The way you handled [situation] didn't align with our values. Here's why that matters
💡 Dica

Behavior, not character. 'Your interrupting' não 'You're rude'. Foque em impact, não julgamento.

Setting Expectations (Clarificar o Que Mudou)

Going forward, here's what I expect:
To be clear: this is a must-have, not a nice-to-have
Let me reset expectations on [X]:
The bar for [role/project] is higher than what I'm seeing. Specifically:
I need to see improvement in [area] by [date]
This is what success looks like for your role: [specific criteria]
💡 Dica

Clareza > gentileza. Ambiguidade em feedback é cruel, não kind.

Addressing Repeated Issues (Segunda ou Terceira Conversa)

We've discussed this before, but I'm still seeing [issue]
This is now a formal warning. If [X] doesn't improve by [date], we'll need to [consequence]
I want to be clear about the stakes here: [consequences]
We're at the point where this needs to change immediately
I've been patient, but I need to see concrete improvement now
This conversation is about whether this role is still the right fit
💡 Dica

Escalate claramente. Pessoa precisa saber quando é serious. Documentation importa.

Developmental Feedback (Ajudar a Crescer)

Here's an opportunity for growth: [area]
You're strong at [X], but to advance you'll need to develop [Y]
The gap between where you are and where you want to be is [skill]
I see potential in you for [next level], but here's what's holding you back:
Let me share some observations that could help you level up:
If you want to be considered for [promotion/project], here's what needs to change:
💡 Dica

Frame como crescimento, não deficiência. 'Not ready yet' > 'Not good enough'.

Closing Feedback Conversations

Let me summarize what we discussed and next steps:
I'm going to send you a written summary of this conversation
Do you have questions or concerns about what I've shared?
I want to support you through this. Here's how I can help:
Let's check in on progress in [timeframe]
I believe you can do this. Here's what I need to see to move forward
💡 Dica

Document feedback. Follow-up é critical. 'Hope' não é strategy—set check-ins.

Perguntas frequentes

Devo dar feedback difícil por email?
Nunca. Sempre face-to-face (ou video). Email é para documentar APÓS a conversa, não substituí-la.
Como abrir a conversa sem deixar a pessoa defensive?
'I want to share some feedback on [specific topic]' > 'We need to talk'. Seja direto mas não dramático.
E se a pessoa começar a chorar?
Pause. 'Take the time you need.' Offer tissue. Continue quando ela estiver pronta. Emotion é normal—não panic.
Devo começar com elogios (sandwich approach)?
Não. Confunde mensagem. Seja direto: 'I have corrective feedback.' Depois ofereça support.
Como lidar se a pessoa discorda do feedback?
Ouça. 'Help me understand your perspective.' Mas feche com: 'I hear you, and this is still what I need to see change.'
