𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲

Let’s say - Ritu is a team manager.

One of her team members, Sameer, is smart and well-liked.

But lately, he's slipping.
• Missed timelines
• Vague updates
• Quiet in meetings

Ritu hesitates to address it directly.
“He’s usually good,” she tells herself.
“I don’t want to demotivate him.”

Weeks pass.
Work quality dips.
Tension rises.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺?
Ritu is waiting for performance to fix itself.
But without timely feedback, Sameer can’t course-correct.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:

Introduce the A.I.R. Feedback Framework — to hold performance conversations with empathy and clarity:

1. Awareness – “Here’s what I’m noticing...”

2. Impact – “Here’s how it’s affecting the team/project…”

3. Request – “Here’s what needs to change moving forward…”

Also, encourage a coaching mindset:
Ask instead of accuse.
Guide instead of guard.

Example:
“Sameer, I noticed a delay in your last two deliverables. It’s affecting team timelines. What’s getting in the way? How can we support you to improve this?”

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
• You conduct a role-play exercise:
– One manager, one underperforming team member.
– Trainer observes tone, clarity, emotional control.

• After the feedback is delivered, switch roles.
– Let the “employee” explain how it felt.

• Debrief:
– What built trust?
– What triggered defensiveness?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?
• Issues addressed early, not emotionally
• Team members feel supported, not judged
• Managers lead with clarity, not avoidance

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Feedback doesn’t have to bruise. It can build.
Train your managers to lead tough conversations with heart and structure.

Because silence doesn’t help people grow - it just leaves them stuck.

𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝘀-𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿

Let’s say — Ankit is a capable team leader.
But he has one problem:
He says “yes” to everything.

• “Sure, I’ll review that deck tonight.”
• “Leave it with me, I’ll get it done.”
• “Yes, I’ll attend the client call too.”

He means well.

But now he’s drowning in deliverables, skipping lunch, missing deadlines — and worst of all, resenting his team.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲?
Ankit thinks saying “yes” proves he’s a supportive leader.
But in truth, it's eroding his effectiveness — and the team’s ownership.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿:

Introduce the S.A.N.E. Framework for boundary-setting:

1. See the Request – What are they asking and why?

2. Assess Capacity – Can you really take it on without overload?

3. Navigate Alternatives – Who else? When else? How else?

4. Express Clearly – Say “no” without guilt. Say “yes” with terms.

Sample response:
“I’d love to help, but I’m at capacity right now. Could we look at this tomorrow, or can someone else step in?”

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
• You run a boundary-setting simulation with managers:
– Team member makes 3 urgent requests
– Manager must respond using S.A.N.E.

• You guide them on tone, clarity, and assertiveness.

• They practice saying “no” — and feel the freedom of it.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?

• Fewer missed deadlines
• Healthier work habits
• Empowered team members who step up
• Ankit is no longer the bottleneck

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Saying “yes” to everything means saying “no” to effectiveness.

Train the managers to say no with strength — and lead with sanity.

Because burnt-out leaders can’t build strong teams.

𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘁-𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵

Let’s say — Rohan, a mid-level manager, believes in coaching.
But every time someone says,
“Can I talk to you for 10 minutes?”
He glances at his overflowing inbox, then replies:
“Sure, but make it quick.”

In those 10 minutes:
• He gives rapid answers.
• Solves their problem.
• Moves to the next task.

The team feels helped, but not heard.
Rohan feels efficient, but not impactful.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲?
Rohan’s managing tasks — not developing people.
Coaching feels like a luxury he can’t afford.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:
Introduce “Micro-Coaching Moments” — 5-minute frameworks that fit busy calendars but leave lasting impact.

Use the 3Q Coaching Prompt anytime someone seeks help:

1. What’s the real challenge here for you?
(Not the symptom — the struggle.)

2. What have you already tried?
(Builds reflection.)

3. What’s one next step you feel ready to take?
(Builds ownership.)

No advice. Just presence and powerful questions.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
• Rohan uses the 3Q model during hallway chats, check-ins, even Slack replies.
• He stops rescuing — starts reflecting with the team.
• Coaching becomes a habit, not a calendar item.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?
• Time spent: 5 minutes
• Impact felt: Hours of growth
• Team members build muscle, not dependence

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Coaching doesn’t need a 60-minute session.
It needs a 60-second shift — from solving to listening.

Train the managers to coach in moments, not meetings.
Because real growth happens in small pauses, not grand plans.

𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗼𝗻-𝗢𝗻𝗲

Let’s say — Arjun, a first-time manager, has to give performance feedback to one of his team members, Meenal.

- She’s underperforming.
- Missed targets. Delayed deliverables.
- And he’s been avoiding the conversation for weeks.

Finally, in a one-on-one, he reads from a list:
• “You’re not meeting expectations.”
• “Clients are escalating.”
• “You need to improve.”

Meenal nods silently.
Then tears up.

The meeting ends in discomfort — and no real change.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗽?
Arjun delivered feedback to Meenal — not with her.
It felt like judgment, not growth.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:
Train Arjun on the SBI + GROW Feedback Method
A blend of structure and empathy.

1. SBI Model (Situation–Behavior–Impact):
– “In last week’s client review (S)... you interrupted the client mid-way (... which made them feel unheard (I).”

2. GROW Model (Goal–Reality–Options–Will):
– “What would good client interactions look like for you?”
– “What’s blocking you right now?”
– “What options do you think you have to improve?”
– “What’s one thing you’ll commit to by next week?”

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
• Arjun begins his next conversation by listening first.
• He creates a space of safety — not scrutiny.
• He co-creates an action plan with Meenal — not for her.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?

• Meenal leaves feeling supported, not shamed
• Arjun feels confident, not conflicted
• Progress replaces defensiveness

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Feedback doesn’t have to feel like a verdict.

Train your managers to lead performance conversations that unlock potential — not just point out problems.

Because when people feel guided, not graded — they grow.
