As a manager, I need to be able to give feedback on project proposals. However, I'm worried that if I tell my female colleagues that their project proposals are not practical, it will sound sexist. How can I best approach this situation?

As a manager, it is important to provide balanced feedback that is specific to each project proposal. When evaluating your female colleagues' proposals, consider factors such as the feasibility of the idea and its potential impact. Provide constructive criticism that focuses on the concept, noting any potential concerns with gender equality and suggesting possible solutions or further exploration of ideas. By being attentive and providing fair feedback, you can create an equal environment that supports everyone's projects!

It is important to be mindful of your language and approach when giving feedback on project proposals. While it is necessary to point out practical considerations, you should aim to do so in a constructive manner and avoid using language that might be interpreted as dismissive or Patriarchal. Try phrasing negative feedback as questions, advice, or suggestions instead of statements. If possible, provide real-life examples of why a proposal may not be viable as well as alternative approaches that could be taken.
