Harmonizing Growth: Crafting Effective Feedback Strategies for Team Success
how do you give feedback to someone? as simple as it is to just read the feedbacks from other team members, it's one of the most critical steps to manage/lead a team.
I think the first question is why do you need to give feedback to this person? feedbacks are the process in the system to analyze the output and slightly make a difference in the input to get a better result
So, you need to know you are giving feedback to this person to let him/her know that based in their inputs to the system, what outputs are coming out.
So, if they are doing great, the results is also great, however, based on other feedbacks which usually runs in the stop, continue and start, fashion, everyone will have some ideas of what this person can do do have a better output, what to start, stop or continue
which one you would be focusing on? this team member's result is what you have seen and there are 20 lines in each section for what this perosn can do. I believe you need to read them, judge it based on your experience and ignore most of it, continue is the section that shows the result is coming out of the current behaviour.
If their output is already fantastic, there is no point to give them so many other things to start or stop, remember, these are only personal opinions of his/her colleagues.
For example, if he/she had a great opinion and beautiful expression in a meeting that also changed the outcome and was so effective. one of the feedbacks might be stop it, and write it later on in the email.
You don't want that in the person, so there is no point giving them this feedback.
Read all of the feedbacks, put yourself in that persons shoes, and then decide, what can be a little and I'd say little adjustment that might end up with a better result.
Start your conversation with the current state, show how grateful you are and how the performance is beautiful, and just mention the little adjustment, and encourage them to try.
I have seen often we give many feedbacks to one person, leaving them to change completely, guessing that will end up in super fantastic results,
Feedbacks are little tweaks, not big changes, big change would destroy the outcome, if a system is in balance, you can just slightly change some stuff, not a big move.
