Here's why:
* Focus: Starting with a clear statement of the feedback's subject matter immediately establishes the purpose and sets the right context for the receiver.
* Understanding: It helps the recipient to be mentally prepared for what's coming and understand the specific area being discussed.
* Time Efficiency: By getting to the point quickly, you avoid unnecessary preamble and save time for both the giver and receiver.
Example:
Instead of: "Hey, I wanted to talk about your recent presentation, you know, the one on the new product launch...," you can say: "This feedback is about the clarity of your presentation on the new product launch."
By clearly stating the focus in the first sentence, you enhance the clarity and effectiveness of your feedback.
