Does this skill work for both giving and receiving feedback?

Absolutely. While it specializes in drafting feedback for others, it also includes specific protocols for modeling good behavior when you are the one receiving feedback from your team.

How does the SBI-I model improve feedback?

The SBI-I model (Situation, Behavior, Impact, Intention) ensures feedback is objective and specific, focusing on observable actions rather than personality traits, which reduces defensiveness.

What is the Radical Candor framework used in this skill?

Radical Candor is a management philosophy by Kim Scott that encourages leaders to 'Care Personally' while 'Challenging Directly' to help employees grow without being aggressive or overly empathetic.

Can this skill help with performance reviews?

Yes, it provides templates and structures to help you summarize a quarter's worth of observations into actionable, balanced feedback that avoids 'Ruinous Empathy' or surprising the employee.
