My Feedback Journey
Fear of looking weak
Gym HomeWork
© Next Jump, Inc. 2018 CONFIDENTIAL
Meanwhile…
• 21st century organizations are flattening
organization structure while empowering
more decision making throughout the
organization
• The threat of being disrupted is greater
than ever before.
• Feedback is decision making data

The 2nd Job: “Lying, Hiding, Faking”
In an ordinary organization, most people are doing a
second job no one is paying them for.
In businesses large and small; in government
agencies, schools, and hospitals; in for-profits and
non-profits and in any country in the world,
most people are spending time and energy covering
up their weaknesses, managing other people’s
impressions of them, showing themselves to their
best advantage, playing politics, hiding their
inadequacies, hiding their uncertainties, hiding their
limitations. Hiding.
We regard this as the single biggest loss of resources
that organizations suffer everyday.
© Next Jump, Inc. 2018 CONFIDENTIAL
The Problem, in a nutshell
1. GIVING: People are more
scared to give feedback, than
receive it
2. RECEIVING: Lowest
performing teams are being
led by leaders who do not
receive feedback (hiding)

EVERY DAY/WEEK: DEVELOPMENT 2X/YEAR: ONLY RESULTS
Efficient 360 contribution evaluations
built to get at the “truth”
Lesson #4: Separate Out Developmental and Evaluative Feedback
Lesson #5:
Normalise to a 2
Pros
• Focus is on adding value (mission matters)
• Tend to normalize between a 1 (needs improvement) and 2
(meets expectations)
• Feedback is specific and puts an idea on the table of how to
improve (or where they did improve)
• Pick up the nuances and “the tells” of what might not be said
– what is missing
Amateurs
• Often generic and mostly appreciative
• Tend to normalize between a 3 (exceeds expectations) and 4
(far exceeds expectations)
• Don’t pick up on what might be missing
Lesson #6:
Create Training Grounds
Start by Leveling up
Level 1: Feedback on “Technical skills”
Communication, Sales, or Presentation skills (i.e. Toastmasters)
Level 2: Feedback on a Presentation
i.e. a team or staff meeting after a project is completed
Level 3: Feedback on Debrief of Project (Training ground)
Recipient first self-rates their project and reflects on how they
will improve it going forward. Feedback givers rate on quality of self-
awareness.
Level 4: Feedback on Debrief of Work (Core Job)
Recipient first self-rates their project and reflects on how they
will improve it going forward. Feedback givers rate on quality of self-
awareness
Level 5: Feedback on the Person (Who You Are)
Self reflection on your decision making biases and blind spots. This
feedback gets at the most core root of our own impediments and
development areas. Feedback givers rates on self-awareness and a on
practice of working on impediments.
Lesson #7:
Role Model Good
Feedback Givers
• Format of a good feedback practice session (FOCUS on givers)
• Next Jumper presents (briefs) their product to other Next Jumpers in
5 minutes
• Audience gives feedback in app to presenter
• Three Senior leaders (“master feedback givers) give their feedback
publicly to presenter
• Gives the audience (Next Jumpers) opportunity in real time to
compare their feedback to the feedback of a senior leader. This is the
practice.
Lesson #8:
Ritualise Feedback
• Build in 5 minutes for “feedback” into agenda
• If you wait until after meeting, feedback training is missed.
Employees will often move on to next meeting and never give
feedback.

Lessons: Receiving Feedback
Creating the right environment
Lesson #9:
Redefine what “Bad” is
Trending Up Trending Down Flat No Feedback
KEY INSIGHT: Getting a lot of feedback
doesn’t guarantee performance, but NOT
getting feedback guarantees failure.
Lesson #9:
Redefine what “Bad” is
Lesson #10:
Create Coaching
Programs – to talk
through feedback
with
Lesson #11:
Ingrain Feedback into

Process
2) 1st Week of being Hired: Give all Hiring
Feedback
Here were all of our data-points and observations
3) Onboarding Process: Monthly Checkpoints
4) After Onboarded: Become Graduates
Become Coaches
Practice giving feedback
RECAP: Feedback Lessons
1. Peer to Peer Feedback > Top Down Feedback

Editor's Notes

  1. Feedback is the backbone of what we do here. It’s taken us 5 years to build. KT: Purpose of this talk today – so that it doesn’t take you 5 years
  2. Can’t talk about feedback w/o sharing my own Fear of looking weak – expose my vulnerabilities, authentic with my struggles. Scared more about my brand, than doing the right thing. KT: Feedback as a data point for decision making. This was BEFORE DDO. Question: How do you do this at scale?
  3. Top of organisational agenda We have disruptors in this room. We have those who are perhaps leading in their space – and worried about being disrupted. Recognising that to do this - : DECENTRALISING DECISION MAKING, but in order to do that, NEED TO EQUIP DECISION MAKING in org. David Rose story KT: The threat of being disrupted is greater than ever before –
  4. KT: Org Silence  Calling out the NQRs. An environment where that is the norm.
  5. KT: Two barriers to feedback done right (GIVING + RECEIVING) Giving Feedback. People suck at giving truth. Calling out NQRs Giving Feedback is a Muscle Counter-intuitively, the best way to prepare for receiving candid feedback, is to give it Practicing putting the “truth” on the table. Even if it’s unpleasant, it increases your situational awareness and builds up your muscles of feedback 2) Receiving Feedback. People stand in queues for comforting lies.
  6. 4) Our journey on feedback – we had to make 4 strategic changes in our approach.
  7. Share 11 Lessons – What we have learnt on Feedbacl Giving Feedback is a Muscle Counter-intuitively, the best way to prepare for receiving candid feedback, is to give it Practicing putting the “truth” on the table. Even if it’s unpleasant, it increases your situational awareness and builds up your muscles of feedback
  8. KT: Insight from Primary School. More receptive to feedback from peers than adult & teachers. Your KPIs vs your development. Most companies don’t do this You only get feedback once/twice a year – how do you adjust in time? So heavily linked to compensation – they don’t really want to hear the feedback If you want to develop leaders you have to have a Coach, leader of leaders. The unique element here is the role of COACH – sacrificing your #1 player to move from DOING to COACHING. You’ll go SLOWER to start But in the long run you'll have a STRONGER org, w/ deeper bench strength. This has allowed me to learn how to teach better/be a better Coach, but also be a student as I’m learning new things. It’s helped us to build a stronger company. Structurally it allows us all to be better colleagues, parents, friends…
  9. Create programs that scale (not just for the top 10-20%)
  10. Make it easy for others to tell the truth

  19. Like most things in life: What makes a great leader has some artistry to it.  It's not a formula. But what makes a bad leader is much more consistent.   I: As a leader – how do you get more feedback? You: How do you get better at giving feedback? We: How to we set up our environment better to create higher performing teams? Lowest performing teams are lead by leaders who are hiding “Nobody want a to admit defeat, failure, or any set backs … under performers get or deny any real feedback … Like in the business world our CNO sees this as a needed competitive edge against our adversaries. At stake is nothing less than National Security.”

  21. Feedback is often badly delivered, poorly phrased, unfair … hard to hear. But it is up to you to find the gold. Recovery Process: Talk about it “vent” with a trusted partner (“burn off” emotion) Sleep on it Print out and read again Cross out what doesn’t resonate Highlight patterns

  25. Treat different types of feedback, differently
  26. Importance of practice grounds Decision making/judgment calls takes experience. Yet often “revenue” responsibilities aren’t safe enough to take those chances If you want to develop leaders you have to have a Coach, leader of leaders.
