SKILL.md

A structured approach to delivering difficult feedback that relies on observable facts rather than judgment, reducing defensiveness and clarifying expectations.

Core principle: Your job is to drive results, not make employees happy. But doing it well preserves the relationship AND improves performance.

| Evidence | Observable facts/data | Judgments/feelings | | Framing | Career goals link | Personal attack | | Mindset | Help them improve | Vent your frustration | | Reaction | Hold the line | Back down |

Use when delivering difficult feedback (performance issues, firing, promotion denial), when managers avoid necessary conversations due to fear, or when needing structured scripts for high-stakes communication Source: coowoolf/insighthunt-skills.
