Manager Tool’s Feedback Model

A simple template for giving effective feedback that ensures you’re hitting all the right points, that goes like this:

  1. Ask to give feedback.
  2. Tell them "You did X. It caused Y."
  3. If you’re giving positive feedback, say "Good job."
  4. If you’re giving negative feedback, tell them how they should adjust their actions in the future.
