Leadership Development: SBI Feedback Framework
- Challenge
- Managers needed a structured, objective approach to deliver meaningful performance feedback during formal reviews.
- Solution
- Implemented the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) framework through a leadership development program, focusing on observable behaviors rather than personality traits.
Overview
Part of a broader leadership development initiative, this project focused on equipping directors, managers, and supervisors with the tools to conduct meaningful review conversations using the SBI framework.
The challenge
Feedback often focused on assumptions or personality traits rather than observable behavior, leading to less constructive review conversations.
The solution
- Reframing Feedback: Taught managers to identify the specific Situation, observed Behavior, and resulting Impact.
- Guided Practice: Facilitated sessions where leaders reframed recent feedback and practiced delivery with partners.
- Implementation: Integrated the framework into the formal review cycle to ensure consistent application.
