Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Four characteristics of effective feedback: four principles: - F (Frequent): regular and ongoing, not just at annual reviews - A (Accurate): based on facts and specific observations - S (Specific): targeting specific behaviors and situations - T (Timely): provided as soon as possible after the event.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Real-time improvement, continuous development. The FAST principle emphasizes that feedback should be an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time event, helping employees adjust behavior in a timely manner and achieve continuous improvement.

Four characteristics of effective feedback: Frequent, Accurate, Specific, Timely. The mechanism is to turn feedback from a "one-time event" into a "continuous conversation", allowing the receiver to adjust behavior in a timely manner, rather than being surprised at the end of the year.
