LESSON NOTES
1. Behaviours not labels
What the individual does and can therefore choose to alter rather than what he/she is.
• Outcomes
• Performance
• Capabilities
• Motivations, Attitudes, and Beliefs
• Sense of Identity
Can only observe behavior and outcomes
Give facts before opinions, and use observations, not inferences.
Cannot know what is unseen, below the waterline
2. Excellent feedback creates high-quality Awareness
• A generalization is not helpful, it does not easily stimulate behavioral changes.
• Check to ensure understanding.
• Don’t overdo it – let the Receiver ask for more feedback if he or she needs it.
3. Need to incite Responsibility to take action
Give Feedback with the intent to help someone learn and develop themselves. As a result, feedback should be part of a process, rather than a single event
• Focus on the future, rather than on the past
• “Praise grows us like sunlight grows a flower” – It is far easier to develop a strength than it is to overcome a weakness
• Describe things which the Receive(s) can do something about. Don’t antagonize.
• To be effective in making change, we must take responsibility for acting on the feedback we receive
