Learned the hard way that giving real feedback in front of a crowd can backfire if the boss wasn't actually ready for it. What worked for me was keeping it short and sticking to facts, like "here's what slowed the team down last month" instead of going after her personally. I also saved the bigger stuff for a private chat after, which kept things from getting awkward in the room. Being honest in the moment is good, but reading the room matters too. If she asked in front of everyone, she probably wanted to look open to input, so I gave her something she could actually use without making her look bad.
