Coaching practices for The Sbi Feedback Model at Work
Describe almost anything you are working through and IX Coach finds the practices whose real-world fit is closest. For The Sbi Feedback Model at Work, these are the strongest matches in the current practice library.
Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I deliver my feedback as a finished verdict and then the other person just sits there closed off
- I blurt out corrections in the heat of the moment, often right in front of other people, and instead of taking it in they just get humiliated and dig in
- I tell someone what went wrong but never say what I actually want instead, so they walk away knowing they messed up with no idea what "right" looks like
- When someone does something genuinely great I just toss off a "nice work" and move on, and it barely registers
- I tell people what they did wrong but they don’t see why it actually matters, so nothing changes
Practices that may help
- The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical
The SBI model (Situation–Behavior–Impact), developed by the Center for Creative Leadership, structures feedback by anchoring it to an observable moment, describing the behavior seen rather than inferring motive, and naming the actual impact. This reduces defensiveness and attribution errors; the model is established clinical practice in leadership development, though direct RCT comparisons to other feedback approaches are limited. - Invite a response after delivering SBI
Close SBI by asking what the other person makes of it — not with a verdict.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Choose the right moment and setting for feedback
Feedback lands in proportion to how safe and ready the receiver feels — timing and privacy matter.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Add a forward-looking request to SBI
Pair the impact statement with a specific, doable request for next time.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Use SBI for positive feedback, not just correction
Name the situation, behavior, and impact when someone does something right.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Name the actual impact on you or the team
Say what effect the behavior had — on you, on others, on the work.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - The Feedback Sandwich: Why It Doesn’t Work and What to Do Instead
The feedback sandwich (positive–negative–positive) is the dominant model for giving feedback in workplaces, but research and practitioner experience suggest it routinely fails: recipients either remember only the positive parts or dismiss the negative as softened insincerity. The practices below cover why it fails mechanistically and what specific alternatives are better supported. - Describe behavior, not character
Say what the person did — actions, words — not what that says about who they are.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Anchor feedback to a specific situation
Name the exact time and place before you say anything else.
The SBI Feedback Model, Made Practical - Feedback Loops and Behavior Change
Feedback loops are the mechanism by which information about the gap between current and desired performance reaches the actor and drives adjustment. Cybernetics established the theoretical foundation; decades of applied research confirm that self-monitoring and feedback are among the most robust behavior-change techniques — particularly for health behaviors. The key design questions are feedback frequency, the right metric, and the gap between signal and response.
