Planning What planning and preparation do you need to do before the review meeting?
Positive Feedback Consider the following examples of positive feedback, which would you have preferred to receive, had you been involved in this work? “That was great! Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic! Well Done!”
Giving Difficult Feedback • Always criticise the action not the person. • Always give specifics and avoid sweeping generalisations. • Always give suggestions on what the person can do to improve. The solutions are the keys or building blocks of constructive criticism. • Always invite the other person to join you in thinking of ideas to improve. Don't make it a monologue. • Always be assertive in your feedback in an honest straightforward way. • Always give difficult feedback in private and never in front of others.
Listening, questioning, silence • Use active listening skills (reflecting, paraphrasing, summarizing); • Consider body language, facial expressions; • Consider the effect of interrupting; • Use open-ended, probing questions, closed or clarifying/summarising questions at different points; • Silence is a very good tool for encouraging people to talk further about something you think needs more reflection.
