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 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
- 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
- Everyone around me just nods along and tells me I’m right because it’s easier and it feels good, and I’m starting to crave someone who’ll actually push back and tell me where my thinking is weak before it costs me
- Everyone in my circle thinks exactly like I do, and lately it feels less like support and more like a closed loop
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

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.
