The more specific you are, the less defensive he will be, and the more likely he\u2019ll be to hear you and take corrective action.<br \/>\n4. <strong>Sharing the impact or result<\/strong> describes the consequences of the behavior. It\u2019s what happened as a result of the person\u2019s actions.<br \/>\n5. <strong>Having some dialogue<\/strong> gives both people a chance to speak and ensures that the conversation is not one-sided. Many feedback conversations are not conversations at all; they\u2019re monologues. One person talks and the other person pretends to listen, while thinking what an idiot you are. <strong>Good feedback conversations are dialogues<\/strong> during which the recipient can ask questions, share his point of view, and explore next steps.<br \/>\n6. <strong>Make a suggestion or request<\/strong> so the recipient has another way to approach the situation or task in the future. Most feedback conversations tell the person what he did wrong and the impact of the behavior; only rarely do they offer an alternative. Give people the benefit of the doubt. If people knew a better way to do something, they would do it another way.<br \/>\n7. <strong>Building an agreement on next steps<\/strong> ensures there is a plan for what the person will do going forward. Too many feedback conversations do not result in behavior change. Agreeing on next steps creates accountability.<br \/>\n8. <strong>Say &#8220;Thank you&#8221;<\/strong> to create closure and to express appreciation for the recipient\u2019s willingness to have a difficult conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Do these steps help? Does it make sense that a trusting relationship creates a &#8220;safe&#8221; relationship allowing feedback to be welcomed?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We all need people who will give us feedback.
