The Top Ten Reactions to Performance Feedback and How to Respond

Why do so many managers avoid giving feedback? Fear of how an employee [Or Stakeholder?]  will respond is the number one reason managers say they delay and sometimes completely abandon performance conversations. Many managers feel there is no way to adequately predict and prepare for an employee’s response to feedback and are, therefore, convinced things will spin out of control. In reality, most performance issues will elicit a fairly predictable range of responses from employees, some of them even positive. We have identified the Top 10 Employee Reactions and suggest effective ways of addressing each. Understanding these reactions and what to do if confronted by them can mean the difference between having the confidence to initiate an important conversation or sweeping it under the rug.

Join us for this session to walk through these reactions and gain practical tips and techniques to maintain control of the conversation and keep it moving in the best direction.

Takeaways:

  • How to position feedback to reduce defensive reactions.
  • Examples of how to give feedback without criticism.
  • Managing common reactions to feedback, such as making excuses, deflecting responsibility, silence, anger, etc.
