(Asks for other person’s view on the plan
of action suggested)

Behaving Right
Facial Expression: while smiling helps enormously to reinforce that
what you say is meant constructively, you should always be
genuine – do not smile if you are sad, angry or serious.
Eyes and gaze: the ability to look someone directly in the face and
maintain eye contact shows openness and sincerity; looking away
will almost always undermine your message.
Posture: Standing square- on, facing the other person, with head
held high is direct and open; turning away, slouching or an
unbalanced stance shows lack of interest or commitment.
Hand and arm movements: avoid fiddling as this distracts attention
from your message and from your sincerity; use hands to
emphasize what you say in a helpful ( but not an aggressive ) way.
Tone of voice: whispering, rushing or mumbling all suggest that you
doubt what you are saying; speak up clearly and confidently in an
even tone of voice.
Own what you say: ‘Owning’ what you say means making it clear
that this is your own opinion, not someone else’s, and not what you
think someone might like to hear.

Essential Rules of giving feedback
Direct expression of feelings- state what is happening to you.
Don’t interpret the behavior- describe it.
Respond only to the behavior and not to personal worth
Be specific
A person should have freedom to use feedback in any
meaningful way without being required to change.
While someone has a freedom not to change, he/she will also
have to accept the consequence of his/her decision
To be most effective, feedback should be given immediately
after the event. In work units/ departments, however, specific
time may be set aside for structured or unstructured feedback
sessions.
