How do you build an open feedback culture like GitHub?

0. Before anything else, you have to know, even if you’re at a small company, you can’t start it early enough. You need to set up a feedback system with a regular cycle.
1. Have everyone do self-reviews
Wherever you are, it can’t hurt to think about what you’ve been doing over the last months. A bit of self-reflection is a great first stage for your feedback system.
2. You need peer reviews
In the next step have your employees write peer reviews for each other. You want at least 3-5 peer reviews for everyone, but it never hurts to have more.
3. Send feedback through the manager
Ryan’s recommendation for smaller companies’ feedback cycles is to send peer reviews through the managers. They compile it, and discuss it with team members individually.

There are reasons for and against this, but this is GitHub’s way.

Do you give #feedback at one on one meetings?

1. I use one on ones to give both positive and negative feedback. It's a frequent opportunity to do it. You want your direct reports to always know how they are perceived, rather than only learn about it at performance reviews.
2. You want to avoid giving critical feedback out of the blue. I tend to put a note about the broader topic of my critical feedback in the meeting agenda. It helps them to prepare.

1. Preserve optionality:
Not committing to a single course of action is valuable. Incrementality is a great way to make it work in practice. You set a direction, and set up checkpoints where you can stop, and redirect yourself.
2. Skin in the game:
If your employees can succeed without helping the business, that makes the organization fragile. You need to give them the proper responsibility and proportionate accountability to make them thrive.
