Overview

Giving feedback is crucial in roles such as appraisers, team leaders, and supervisors. It's also important in relationships between different roles e.g. marketing manager to sales team. Tricky scenarios might include:

  • Discussing a conflict/falling out between colleagues that is effecting the team or wider department

  • Telling someone that they have a disruptive style in team meetings

  • Raising a failure or failures in following company protocols or procedures

  • Respectfully and calmly confronting someone to tell them it’s not appropriate to arrive late or allow phone distraction

  • Understanding other people’s positions and how to handle differences

Improving the quality of your ‘effective feedback’ can increase performance, enable behaviour change and career development.  Evidence shows that giving and receiving feedback are skills that can improve with practice and training

  • Do you ever feel like you are banging your head against a brick wall during staff performance management or appraisal e.g. substandard performance, missing deadlines, interpersonnel conflicts, and toxic behaviour?

  • Do you ever wonder how you can improve your impact when communicating with staff, colleagues, or apprentices/interns?

  • Do you ever send an email because you can't face a potentially unpleasant conversation?

  • Looking to improve your communication during periods of organisational restructuring or improve team morale and performance?

  • Do you want to a create culture of mutual understanding and appreciation?
