Feedback Models
There are many different feedback models.
One that you can try is to actually move the focus of giving the feedback back to the individual as follows:
- Ask the individual to comment on their own performance
- Ask them what they have done well
- What hasn't gone so well?
- What could they have done differently?
- Agree next steps
An alternative model which may be more useful when you feel you need to direct the feedback more is the OIS model. This can be a better model for dealing unacceptable behaviour.
- Observation - start with what you saw
- Impact - what is the impact/result of the observation
- Suggestion - Possible changes to make with their agreement
Example:
"I noticed you have been 30 minutes late the last few mornings and this has had an impact on us opening the shop on time and leaving some pre-opening tasks not completed. I need you to ensure that you arrive to work on time, do you think you will be able to do this?"
