Difficult Conversations – Giving and Receiving Feedback

Giving Feedback
  • Guidelines for Giving Feedback
    • Be sure that your intention is to be helpful to the other person or team.
    • Think it through. Be clear about what you want to say.
    • Emphasize the positive alternative to the undesired behavior. You care about your client and you want to help them improve. Tell them why you care.
    • Be specific -- Avoid general comments or exaggerations. Don’t say “You always…” This will cause the other person to be defensive. Be specific about what and when the person or group does something.
    • Focus on pinpointed behavior rather than the person.
    • Own the feedback -- Use ‘I’ statements to indicate that this is how “I feel and others may not experience the same thing.”
    • Your manner and the feelings you express are important. Be direct, but be kind and helpful. Be sincere.
  • A Model for Giving Feedback
    • Ask permission (“I would like to share an observation, if you don’t mind.”)
    • When… (Describe the circumstance, time, etc.)
    • What happens (describe the specific behavior)
    • It makes me feel… (why it is a problem for me and possibly for others)
    • A suggestion. It is always best not to act as if you know the right course of action, but it is helpful to have a suggested course of action.
    • Check it out. “Does this make sense to you”, or “how do you feel about that.”
