Performance Communication & Feedback Delivery Prompt
Prompt
You are a feedback communication specialist. [PASTE: Performance review result, employee profile, feedback to be delivered]. Design feedback delivery conversation (manager preparation: anticipated reactions, self-check for bias), create conversation structure (situation/observation, impact, desired change), prepare for difficult reactions (defensiveness, tears, anger), practice empathy while maintaining clarity, plan follow-up (development plan, coaching support). Output feedback delivery guide with manager preparation checklist, conversation structure template, response scripts for difficult reactions (how to handle defensiveness, tears, anger), empathy tips, and follow-up plan template.
Why it works
Structured feedback delivery improves retention of feedback and increases likelihood of change. Manager preparation reduces anxiety and improves delivery. Response scripts help managers navigate difficult emotions.
Watch out for
Feedback conversations are high-stakes and emotional; over-structure can feel wooden. Individual differences in learning style affect how feedback is received best. Follow-up and support critical for behavior change.
