With senior leaders, it’s often how you present information to them that matters. Executives don’t often have the patience for a long winded presentation full of story telling and building up to your big finding or ask. Put that right up front, page one, a full summary of what you are trying to say in a nutshell. Then have supporting detail in the pages that follow. It’s a bit of a reverse from what you may be used to doing in client or other internal presentations. But the last thing you want from an exec is for them to tune out or cut you off and ask you to get to the point. Sum it up first, then have more explanation if they want to go into that detail.

? Providing feedback effectively requires careful consideration of your communication's timing, method, and context. ? Select an appropriate time to communicate, avoiding times when stress levels are high, or there are important deadlines. ? Utilize the proper communication channels, considering the type of feedback and the leader's preferences. These could be formal meetings, written reports, or casual conversations. ? Be precise, emphasizing clarity over unnecessary elaboration. ? In addition, it's important to be receptive to dialogue and follow-up discussions, demonstrating your commitment to a collaborative approach. By engaging in thoughtful preparation, your feedback will be received and utilized constructively.
