Feedback is a key skill for leaders and teams


to be able to learn and develop, leading to:

Higher engagement
Improved employee relationships
Reduced employee turnover by 14.9% (Gallup)

And research suggests that 70% of feedback


recipients will perform above average.

However, 30% of feedback interventions


actually hurt performance. It’s poorly delivered.

So, leaders and organizations struggle to


build real feedback cultures. Swipe

Effective feedback answers three questions:

Where are you going? (the goals) FEED UP


How are you going? FEED BACK ↓
Where to next? FEED FORWARD

(By E. K. Molloy and D. Boud (2014) in the


research article Feedback Models for Learning,
Teaching and Performance).

Have these questions in mind when you have


development dialogues. (Disclaimer: not part
of all models introduced here).

The SKS feedback model


By Phil Daniels (HBR) Three Questions for Effective Feedback.

The SKS feedback model is a great process for


asking for feedback (or give it).

It describes a process where we ask others what


we should Stop (S), Keep (K) and Start (S) doing:

What should I (or person) stop doing?


What should I (or person) keep doing?
What should I (or person) start doing?

Given your role as a leader or team member ask
others for feedback by asking them to evaluate
you on each part of the SKS feedback model.

Stop (S), Keep (K), Start (S):

Ask for max 3 bullets on each

Preparing your feedback


Ensure that your feedback is Balanced so the
receiver can also ask questions and speak.
Are you asking for feedback as well as giving it?

Go for feedback you've Observed so it is


something actually seen or heard by yourself.

Make it based on Objective measures, i.e.


fact-based about what actually happened, not
your idea about how the person is.
Base your feedback on accurate and Specific
examples and give the feedback Timely just
after it happened.
