Step 7: Hold people accountable
- Reflect on the feedback you are providing to your team.
- What feedback do you typically provide? Is it encouraging or critical?
- How often are you providing it?
- When do you provide it?
- How do you provide it?
- How is your feedback received, and how do you know? Do you ask for feedback about yourself?
- What feedback does your team need to perform at their best?
- On providing critical feedback:
- What critical feedback have you provided in the past? How was the experience for you and the other person? What were the results?
- What can you change to generate a better outcome?
- What critical feedback do you need to provide that you haven’t yet?
- Think of a situation that will benefit from your feedback. Create a simple outline of the feedback you will provide covering:
- Your specific observation;
- Your expectations for this particular activity;
- If it is not meeting your expectations, explain your assessment and why it is important.
- What will you do to motivate the other person to take responsibility to change? This could include seeking their opinion, listening to their concerns and offering help.
