What Feedback Is and Isn’tFeedback is one aspect of the coaching

processFeedback is not positive or negative

it is supportive or corrective – both are POSITIVE

Supportive feedback reinforces a specific behavior

Corrective feedback provides an opportunity to recognize that a change in behavior is appropriate

Page 5: Coaching and Providing Feedback

Why We Avoid Providing FeedbackYou think the employee should know that

there is a problem You think if you deal with the problem, the

situation may create more conflict, entrenched positions, and take a major diversion of your attention.

Conviction that the other person won’t change

Conviction that the situation won’t changeIt is easier to accept the status quo

Corrective Feedback Requires:Intention and AttentionPlan your feedback

What are the facts of the situation? Is this a can’t do or won’t do situation?

How will the employee see the situation?Ask yourself what role you played in creating

the situation? Training? Instructions? Resources?

What supportive feedback can I provide?What corrective feedback can I provide?
