Keep Feedback Simple!
People need feedback
to get better at their work.
![Page 3: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
But, all too often, feedback misses the mark because it's too vague to
be useful.
![Page 4: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We’ll have a look at
The Situation - Behavior - Impact (SBI) Feedback Tool, helps you give clear,
actionable feedback. The process has just three steps, but it's highly effective!
![Page 5: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Providing Clear, Specific Feedback
Imagine that you recently gave
some feedback to a
member of your team.
![Page 6: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You told him that his meeting agendas looked great, but he
needed to improve his presentation skills
![Page 7: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
You follow up a few weeks later to find out why he hasn't made
any changes
![Page 8: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You discover that he didn't understand what he could do to improve - your feedback simply
prompted more questions
![Page 9: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
He was left thinking "What's good about my agendas that I
can transfer to other documents?" and "What's
wrong with my presentation skills?"
![Page 10: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Situation - Behavior - Impact (SBI) Feedback tool
helps you deliver more effective feedback
![Page 11: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It focuses your comments on specific situations and
behaviors, and then highlights the impact that these behaviors
have on others
![Page 12: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
About the Tool
Developed by The Center for Creative Leadership, the SBI
Feedback Tool outlines a simple structure that you can use to give
feedback
![Page 13: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When you structure feedback in this way, your people will
understand precisely what you are commenting on, and why.
![Page 14: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
And when you show the impact of their behavior on others,
you're giving them the chance to reflect on their actions, and think
about what needs to change.
![Page 15: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The tool also helps you avoid making assumptions that could
upset the other person and damage your relationship with
them.
![Page 16: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Applying the Tool
Let's look at each part of the SBI Feedback tool, and discuss how to apply it.
![Page 17: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Situation
First, define the where and when of the situation you're referring to.
This puts the feedback into context, and gives the other
person a specific setting as a reference
![Page 18: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For example:
• "During yesterday morning's team meeting, when you gave your presentation..."
• "At the client meeting on Monday afternoon..."
![Page 19: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Behavior
Your next step is to describe the specific behaviors that you want
to address.
![Page 20: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This is the most challenging part of the process, because you must communicate only the behaviors that you observed
directly.
![Page 21: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You must not make assumptions or subjective judgments about
those behaviors. These could be wrong, and this will undermine
your feedback.
![Page 22: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
For example, if you observed that a colleague made mistakes in a presentation, you should not
assume that they hadn't prepared thoroughly.
![Page 23: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
You should simply comment that your colleague made mistakes -
and, ideally, you should note what the mistakes were.
![Page 24: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Don't rely on hearsay, as this may contain others' subjective
judgments.
![Page 25: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Again, this could undermine your feedback and jeopardize your
relationship
![Page 26: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The examples below include a description of behavior
During yesterday morning's team meeting, when you gave your
presentation, you were uncertain about two of the slides, and your sales
calculations were incorrect."
![Page 27: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
At the client meeting on Monday afternoon, you ensured that the meeting started on time and that
everyone had handouts in advance.
![Page 28: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
All of your research was correct, and each of the client's
questions was answered."
![Page 29: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Tip:
Aim to use measurable information in your description of the behavior.
This helps to ensure that your comments are objective.
![Page 30: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Impact
The last step is to use "I" statements to describe how the
other person's action has affected you or others.
![Page 31: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
For example:
During yesterday morning's team meeting, when you gave your
presentation, you were uncertain about two of the slides and your
sales calculations were incorrect.
![Page 32: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I felt embarrassed because the entire board was there.
I'm worried that this has affected the reputation of our team."
![Page 33: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
At the client meeting on Monday afternoon, you ensured that the meeting started on time and that
everyone had handouts in advance.
![Page 34: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
All of your research was correct, and each of the client's
questions was answered.
![Page 35: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
I'm proud that you did such an excellent job and put the
organization in a good light.
![Page 36: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I feel confident that we'll get the account, thanks to your hard
work
![Page 37: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Next steps
Once you've delivered your feedback, encourage the other
person to think about the situation and to understand the impact of
his or her behavior.
![Page 38: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
(The Perceptual Positions technique can help them explore
how other people may think.)
![Page 39: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Allow the other person time to absorb what you have said, and then go over specific actions that will help him or her to improve.
![Page 40: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Also, where someone has done something well, help them think about how they can build on this
![Page 41: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Key Points
The Center for Creative Leadership developed the SBI Feedback tool to help managers deliver clear,
specific feedback.
![Page 42: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
SBI stands for
Situation.
Behavior.
Impact.
![Page 43: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
To use the tool, describe the "when" and "where" of the
situation.
![Page 44: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Next, describe the other person's behavior, only
mentioning actions that you have observed.
![Page 45: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Then, communicate the impact of his or her behavior on you
and others.
![Page 46: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Finally, discuss what your team member needs to do to change this behavior in the future, or, if
their behavior had a positive impact, explore how they can
build on this
![Page 47: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
A Final Note
When you are very specific about what your people are doing right
and wrong, you give them the information they need to make
important changes.
![Page 48: The situation behavior - impact](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c6296f4a795936588b4654/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
