Feedback that Works: Coach with conversations

Description

THE S-B-I METHOD: Based on Center for Creative Leadership's proven methodology, SBI is not only a method designed for managers to give feedback to their direct reports but can also be used for giving feedback to peers or superiors – a capability particularly critical in organizations that encourage transparency.

4 FEEDBOOK GUIDEBOOKS:

1) Feedback in Performance Reviews

Effective feedback is one of the most important components of successful performance reviews. Feedback is assessment data that either supports continuing to perform in some manner or targets a desirable change. This guidebook will help you provide performance review feedback that will be well received. It explains three feedback principles and four different types of feedback. Each of these four types is effective when used at the right time and for the right reasons, and they can be used in combination. This guidebook will help you understand when to use the different types of feedback and how to frame a complete feedback message. The rest is practice.

2) Ongoing Feedback: How to Get It and How to Use It

Do you want feedback that will really do you some good? Consider the source. Think about who to ask, when to ask, and how to ask. But don't stop there. Learn to evaluate the content of the feedback you've received so you can use it effectively.

3) Feedback that Works: How to Build and Delivery your Message

Effective feedback, whether it's meant for your boss, your peers, or your direct reports, is built around three ideas. One, focus on the situation. Two, describe the other person's behavior you observed in that situation. And third, describe the impact that behavior had on you. The result is a message that is clear and that can inspire action and productive change.

4) Giving Feedeback to Subordinates

For whatever reason, managers find it hard to give feedback to their direct reports. To succeed in your leadership role, make feedback a part of developing your direct reports to their full potential. Learn how to provide effective feedback that is empowering, not damaging; that is constructive, not debilitating.
