Want to give more effective feedback? Learn how to use our SBI feedback model to close the gap between a person’s intentions and the impact of their behavior.
As a leader, giving effective feedback is your job. Constructive suggestions can help your direct reports and colleagues succeed. But giving feedback is often difficult — for both the deliverer and the recipient.
So, how do you do it? Are you formulaic and by-the-book, or do you wing it? Is it time for straight talk or do you find yourself dancing around the issues? Do you take a clinical approach, or are you personally invested?
Whatever your style or your company’s system, chances are that performance reviews are less-than-satisfying events for you and your direct reports. But learning how to give feedback effectively can make the difference between a meaningless (or disastrous) review and a constructive conversation.
Feedback is one of the most important elements of successful performance reviews because it engages the employee in the conversation and puts the spotlight on key issues. In fact, we believe giving effective feedback is the key to improving your talent development.
If your team understands how to do it well, giving feedback will feel easier, and talent conversations and performance reviews will improve.
With our widely recognized SBI feedback model, you can clarify the situation, describe the specific behavior, and explain the impact of that behavior — motivating the recipient to take actions that improve performance.

“I learned a great deal about the way I think about myself and the reasons for my thinking. I’m able to give feedback in a more constructive manner and to work better as part of a team. Knowing more about myself — compared with the way other people see me — is making me a well-rounded person and better equipped to lead.”
