Quick Question
Here is today's quick question for you...Which feedback models are right for our team?
Hint: Does your team prefer Radical Candor? SBI? STAR? The S*it Sandwich?
Ask it when you're...
Building a new team - Context and experience are important considerations for choosing your team’s preferred feedback model, and this question helps identify a good match.
Introducing a performance culture - Feedback mechanisms tell your team a lot about your culture. Finding the right fit between your drivers and feedback processes will make transitioning to a performance culture much easier.
Sensing a lack of feedback across the team - If your preferred model doesn’t resonate with the team, they’re unlikely to use it. Try asking for input to find the model that fits.
Listen for...

Positive experiences - if your team has positive history with a particular model, they’re more likely to embrace it
Ease - The simpler the model is to implement, the sooner you’re likely to see it in action (and used effectively)
Regular references - if the name of a model or tool starts showing up in conversations all over the place, you know you’ve struck a chord.
