Asking for feedback
Receiving feedback gracefully
Providing feedback
4. WHAT TO SAY?
Two models to provide high quality feedback to your colleagues.
5. HOW TO SAY IT?
Three behaviours that will ensure you have the best possible chance of your feedback being received.
6. PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SCENARIOS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK
Look at the situation that really turn our stomachs when we need to provide feedback:
The highest performing member of your team is demonstrating arrogant behaviours
Your boss is continually late for you
You are new to the tram, feel you have low knowledge levels and witnessing unproductive behaviours
Team member was rude to a colleague
7. DEMONSTRATION
What does this all look like in action?
8. PRACTICE SESSIONS
Opportunity for you to put all this into action and receive feedback from your colleagues.
How to persuade your boss this is a good idea:
Curabitur luctus, lacus egats tristique volutpat, libero enim pulvinar felis, et pellentesque orci nibh eget nibh. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Duis gravida eu odio id fringilla. Suspendisse ac egestas dolor. Quisque egestas suscipit nunc, nec mollis enim tincidunt vel.
Phasellus laoreet, sapien at sodales aliquam, erat sapien sollicitudin mi, in tempus puris lorem in massa. Sed elementum enim sit amet puris iaculis, id sodales ex volutpat.
Praesent semper malesuada sollicitudin. Suspendisse varius enim eu ante maximus, et dictum libero ultrices. Aenean vel dapibus diam, ut bibendum lacus. Nulla facilisi. Vivamus molestie in nibh sed pulvinar. curabitur ut mi ut diam efficitur placerat.
Donec fermentum enim et urna tempus, vel ultricies erat consectetur. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Nullam pulvinar a dua ullamcorper rhoncus.
