Well said. I assume that by "friendly", you imply "constructive".

Also: "How to Offer Constructive Feedback & Recognition" [0] and "How to Give Effective Feedback" [1].

Yep, even if they are bringing up a serious issue they should phrase it as positively as possible.

So, instead of "I'm really unhappy that you are missing targets." say "I notice you're having a bit of an issue with targets, is there anything I can help you with?"

Constructive feedback is all what is needed and the only motive it should be given is to enhance individual productivity and grow him as a better professional.
