Transparent Feedback Workshop
Taking the Lead on Feedback: New Approach for Team Growth
My new approach to feedback collection and sharing that fosters a more collaborative and growth-oriented environment.
Emphasize empathy and open communication:
Moving away from the standard anonymous "Start, Stop, Continue" method. I instead create a safer and more open space for constructive criticism by holding a transparent feedback sharing workshop.
Facilitating Growth
I designed this workshop to last around 1.5 hours, it involves a cross-functional group working together virtually or in-person. Participants will prepare "Start, Stop, Continue" feedback for each other beforehand. I'll guide the session through clear steps (included visually above) to ensure a productive and respectful exchange.
Benefits of Open Dialogue
By moving beyond anonymity, we open doors to:
- Immediate clarification: Feedback receivers can ask clarifying questions on the spot.
- Developing honest and respectful feedback skills: We learn to communicate openly while being considerate.
- Direct communication: We encourage direct, constructive feedback for continued improvement.
- Growth mindset: We cultivate a culture of seeing feedback as an opportunity for individual and team growth.
The Power of Collaboration
These workshops have proven highly successful:
- Established a safe and positive environment for peer-to-peer feedback.
- Fostered positive reinforcement through "Continue" feedback.
- Provided each participant with individual development opportunities.
- Boosted employee motivation through open communication and growth opportunities.
