This week’s Team Building Tip gets you to consider the question “HOW do you want feedback?” As part of team days, I host for teams (virtually and in person) we usually wind up doing work around strengths or styles, helping team members understand the diverse needs and approaches on the team. From there, we usually start exploring what these differences mean in terms of communication, working style, approaches to conflict and also things that get under our skin, or triggers.
One of the areas where you may see significant differences is in the area of feedback – how we like to give it, and how we like to receive it. Feedback should be a two-way street.
This week’s Team Building Tip asks the question: “How do you want feedback?”
Options might include:
What are the ways you want to focus on feedback?
Feedback should also be a two-way street, and while asking the question to those we are supporting through feedback, you’ll want to consider asking “What type of feedback do you want as the receiver?”
Note that in many teams, feedback is not just between the leader and team members. There may be peer feedback cycles as well. The question how “How do you want feedback?” may be an interesting one to explore with the entire team.
Enjoy the conversations!

This week’s Team Building Tip asks the question: “How do you want feedback?”
Options might include:
- Regular in batches or as things happen
- Focused on the big picture vs. Granular in detail
- Verbal only vs writing which you can review and then connect verbally to speak about
What are the ways you want to focus on feedback?
