Do you think you get enough feedback about how you can be more effective from your boss?.... Your team probably thinks the same about you.
Receiving good feedback gives you powerful information that can dramatically decreases the time required to master a skill or help you blow down the barriers that prevent you from getting to the next level. If only you knew.
Giving and receiving feedback are tough for everyone. Who wants to criticize others or be criticized? Although managers have a duty to give honest feedback to staff and peers, many people resist change or differ on how to change—leading to interpersonal conflicts and impacting deliverables.

The Art of Giving and Receiving FeedbackDebrief2Learn
In healthcare organizations, it is mission critical that leaders and managers possess the skills to deliver direct, honest feedback to supervisees and peers. Currently, many managers receive minimal training on how to provide concrete feedback plus coaching that can help team members improve their performance. As a result, many supervisees receive feedback that is conflicting, confusing, or no feedback at all. In this workshop, Grace Ng will discuss the current challenges in giving and receiving feedback, provide frameworks and tools that can be applied in feedback conversations, and share her vision for moving towards a culture of feedback and learning.
Most of the Managers fail to keep a blend of motivation and improvement while giving feedback to their team members. This presentation will help you give feedback effectively.
There is an art to giving and receiving feedback. To get better, feedback is necessary – but it also can backfire if handled poorly. This session is for managers and non-managers and addresses the art of feedback and working with subordinates or peers/team members.

Agile Coaching - Giving And Receiving Feedback Jul14ajaysolucky
Agile Coaching - Giving And Receiving Feedback
Giving feedback and receiving feedback is a stress full process for both the giver and the receiver. It generally creates a negative atmosphere, a strained relationship. Learn the art of giving and receiving feedback to get results.
Almost everyone says that they REALLY REALLY want to receive feedback…so why does it feel like we hardly ever get meaningful, constructive feedback at the point in time when it would actually make a difference? Why do we come up with a list of reasons why we should just let something go, so that we can avoid having to deliver feedback ourselves? For many of us, the giving of feedback can feel like an awkward and uncomfortable task. And it’s because we avoid it whenever possible that we don’t improve these skills and we miss out on opportunities to help ourselves, our teammates, and our Agile teams grow.
In this interactive workshop, we hope to reduce anxiety around delivering feedback. First, briefly review some feedback anti-patterns, then introduce several different frameworks and approaches that you can use to prepare and organize your feedback. Then, since the best way to improve our skills is through deliberate practice, we’ll breakout into pairs to practice together through a series exercises in a fun and safe setting. We’ll swap roles as we go, so that everyone has equal opportunity to practice giving and receiving feedback.
If you are looking to improve your personal feedback skills, searching for ways to help your team become more open and willing to share feedback with each other, or interested in how simple practice and exercises can improve learning and build up skills, then this session is for you!
Stephanie Cooper - Genuine Curiosity - Conversations for ChangeAgileNZ Conference
People often ask for the golden phrase, the silver bullet they can use to convince their teams, managers or executives to ‘go Agile’. While it would certainly help to talk about outcomes and benefits over practices and methods, it can sometimes be your own mindset that is holding back your ability to influence change.
In this session, Steph looks at mindsets (the values and assumptions you make) and explore how a lack of genuine curiosity can provoke defensive behaviours in others and stop organisations from resolving the issues that really matter, but are challenging to address.
She’ll use the setting of a small conversation to explore and better understand these ideas. While organisational change is big, the momentum for change can often be won or lost in small conversations. Becoming better in small conversations will help you grow your role in influencing organisational change. When you approach conversations with genuine curiosity about the other person’s point of view, you will not only have a more productive conversation, but build the trust needed for the work ahead.
These ideas and techniques are popular as they are accessible and relatively easy to adopt.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

Feedback accelerates performance growth
What

Public Self
I know about it
Feedback
Blind Spot
I don’t know about it
Feedback shrinks our blind spots by giving us the benefit
of what others already know that is inhibiting
effectiveness – at work and in our personal relationships
7. 7
Five Steps (+1) for giving feedback
Ask Gain permission
Observe State what you saw
Pause Check for understanding
Effect The effect on you
Suggest Alternative effective behaviour
+ Discuss Open a dialog (optional)
8. 8
There’s a lot going on – the five steps help keep it straight
Individual Behavior Effect on Observer
We judge ourselves
by our intent
Others judge us by the effect of
our behavior on them
Intent

Situation

Behaviour
Actual
Behaviour

Impact
Beliefs and
feelings
9. 9
If you feel that feedback will give you an
opportunity to do this
You aren’t ready yet
10. 10
1. Ask for Permission
How the dialog starts
• “Can I give you some
feedback?”
• “I would like to give you some
feedback, is now okay?”
• “Would you like some
feedback?” (if peer)
Why do this step?
• Prepare the person for the
conversation
• Ensure they are ready to hear
the message - if not, do it at
another time
Wait for their answer Get into the feedback yet
12. 12
Frequent and small Almost no one thinks
they get too much
Tim’s Tip #1: Graze, don’t gorge
13. 13
How the dialog starts
• “I’ve observed/noticed that…”
• “When you do X…” (more
informal)
Why do this step?
• Set context
• Observations relate to
behavior
2. State Observation
Be as specific and as objective as
possible
Comment on what you think the
other person thought/intended
Include the distant past
14. 14
EXAMPLE
I noticed that you interrupted Matt in the
meeting to make your point about our
implementation plan.
15. 15
Judgment
“You looked confident when you
were presenting.”
Description
“You kept your hands in front of
your body and asserted your
points without caveating.”
Tim’s Tip #2: Describe, don’t judge
16. 16
3. Check/pause for understanding
How the dialog starts
--pause---
“Do you remember that?”
“Did I get that right?”
Why do this step?
• Receiver can acknowledge the
observation and arrive at the insight
themselves
• Ensure that the (same) observed fact is
agreed upon and discussed
• Disagreement here could mean that your
feedback is not received well
Make sure that you are talking
about the same thing!
Don’t get into justification about
why the behaviour occurred
18. 18
Tim’s Tip #3: Accept disagreement
Disagreement
accepted about
undesirable
“Behaviour X”
Does behaviour
X reoccur?
No
Yes
Goal Achieved!
Opportunity to give
feedback (no loss)
19. 19
4. Describe the effect it has on you
How the dialog starts Why do this step?
• “The effect it has on me is…”
• “It made me feel…”
• “It makes me think that…”
• How you are affected is a
statement of fact
• Your perception and feelings
matter because you make
decisions based on it
Own it! Use “I” or “me”
Get into justification about why
the behaviour (giver or receiver)
occurred
Make it about others
20. 20
EXAMPLE
I believe it stifles the discussion and I feel
we are not getting the full team’s
contribution. It also makes me
concerned about how clients might
perceive you.
21. 21
4A. Describe the broader impact (if you are trusted as
knowledgeable or have authority)
How the dialog starts Why do this step?
• “Here’s what happens…”
• “[The effect it has on me is that
I believe that] the following will
happen…”
• Impart knowledge
• Share understanding of greater
downstream or ‘second-order’
impact
Clearly connect the dots from
behaviour to other impact
Volunteer this with your
manager
Do this with people who know
more about an area than you
(try asking instead)
22. 22
EXAMPLE
Here’s what happens: When you don’t include Suzi in the
meeting, she goes and tells her boss Jim, Jim feels like his
people aren’t involved, then he stalls the project by
raising objections and telling his people not to prioritize
our work.
23. 23
Tim’s Tip #4 - Avoid the “Shit Sandwich”
But on the whole
things are fine
But you suck at this…
This was really good…
24. 24
5. Suggest (or ask for) alternative behavior
How the dialog starts Why do this step?
• “I think x would be more
effective”
• “Can you please…”
• “You could try…”
• “What can you do differently?”
• Only a different behavior will
achieve a different outcome
• A specific and tangible alternate
increases the likelihood of
behavior change
Ensure the recipient has the
capability to exhibit new
alternative behaviour
Set clear expectations (if
manager)
Say “try harder next time”
Say “don’t”
25. 25
EXAMPLE
In your next meeting, wait until the Matt is
finished or he asks for your input before voicing
your opinion.
26. 26
5+1 Open a dialog (especially if you’re a gorger)
How the dialog starts Why do this step?
• --pause--
• “What would you like me to
understand?”
• “Let’s talk about what you can
do differently
• “How do you feel?”
• The starting point of a coaching
conversation
• You will grow to understand the
other person’s point of view
more clearly
• If the feedback could be
damaging to the relationship
Express support personally and of
their efforts
Seek to understand their point of
view, empathize or offer
perspective
Dwell on the past – it happened
28. 28
Start practicing feedback using the model!
Start positive
Deliver only positive
feedback with the model
until you feel comfortable
with the steps.
Introduce development
feedback
Start small and don’t
venture into history.
Repeat
Give yourself a goal (e.g.
Once/day, 3X week). Do
role play.
Ask for feedback
1
3

4
Give yourself the benefits
and create a norm on your
team.
29. 29
Receiving feedback: listen long enough to understand
Just listen Clarify, don’t justify
Reflect
If you get an evaluation (e.g.,
“that was good”) ask questions:
• What could I do differently in
the future to have a better
outcome?
• What specifically did I do that
caused you to think that
way?
Probe for root causes
Avoid justifying – it already had
the effect*
Check your ego and
the “fight-or-flight”
response (this is hard)
Ask yourself if this
person is trying to
help?
• If so, listen and
learn
• If not, listen and
say thanks
After the
conversation,
reflect on the
feedback and
decide if or
how to
incorporate it
*Exception: IF you have information that would change their perception AND their perception itself is important to
you, you can surface it (and even then decide if it’s worth it - it will probably still sound defensive)
30. 30
Summary – Giving and Receiving Feedback
Ask Observe Pause Effect Suggest Discuss
• Use the model
• Start with positive only
• Try it in ‘low stakes’

• Just Listen
• Clarify, don’t justify
