Methodentypologie

  • Bewerten & Feedback

This method enables providing actionable feedback. The structure helps to be constructive, talking both about desired and undesired behaviours in a team, aiming for motivation and ultimately personal growth.

  • 1. Make time and room

    Agree on a suitable time and find a place for the conversation.

  • 2. Prepare the template (5–10')

    Print out and assemble the template.

  • 3. Define the roles (2')

    Agree on who will provide feedback first.

  • 4. Start (25')

    Go through the stages, use the template for guidance or to make notes if desired:
    Context (10’), Evaluate (10’), Action plan (15’).

  • 5. Exchange roles

    The feedback giver now becomes the feedback receiver. The reciprocal component generates an environment of trust and fairness.

  • 6. Repeat (25')

    Pre-defined frequency helps to build the habit of giving feedback. Monthly frequency is a good start.
