Giving Feedback Manzoni HBR article • How to frame feedback so as to improve • Nature of performance feedback session • Relationship not damaged • Have productive conversation • Employee’s performance after the session • Unsuccessful performance feedback sessions • Subordinate’s acceptance of feedback
Unsuccessful Feedback Sessions • Frame subordinate’s performance • Negatively • too narrowly • In a binary way • In a frozen way • Indirectly (positively & negatively) • Set up interviews so as to confirm manager’s views of subordinate’s performance • Risk that employee will not provide the ‘expected answers’
Framing Subordinate’s Performance • In terms of personal dispositions rather than situational reasons (fundamental attribution error) • In a frozen way due to conditions of high stress • In a binary (win-lose) manner • Assumes that anyone will perceive it the same way (false-consensus effect)
Subordinate’s acceptance of feedback • Evaluation process (or evaluator) • Is perceived as reliable & having good intentions toward subordinate • Is perceived as fair • Collects relevant info • Allows subordinate to clarify & explain • Considers subordinate’s opinions • Applies consistent standards when delivering criticism
Subordinate’s acceptance of feedback • Feedback communication process is fair • Attends to subordinates’ ideas • Shows respect for subordinate • Supports subordinate despite disagreements
