COMMUNICATION
Concept of feedback
• Feedback is my response related to my perception of another
person‘s behaviour or performance
• It is my perception of a situation but not a universal reality/ truth
• By giving feedback, I enable my counterpart to widen his/her
own perception and horizon – if he/she wants to and sees my
perception as useful and right for himself/herself
• Feedback is an opportunity for constructive discussion and
continuous learning for everyone involved
• It is not always easy to give and receive feedback – the
subsequent rules are aimed to ease the discussion and enable
mutual feedback to unfold and work constructively
COMMUNICATION
Feedback tips for the Giver
• Use the I-form, I-messages (no You-messages or We-messages)
• If possible positive and negative (on no account only negative)
• As direct as possible, as soon after the event as possible
• Describe situation in concrete and specific ways
• Where appropriate give own thoughts about it (“I like it very much, I do not like it so much…“)
COMMUNICATION
Feedback tips for the Receiver
• No discussion
• No defending
• Where applicable questions to enhance understanding
• Listen quietly
• My inner attitude is:
I have heard what you have said.
Thank you for saying it.
I will think about it and decide myself about my future acting
