#1 I commit to providing better feedback to my coworkers and peers using the SBI format for providing feedback. I would like to focus on more positive/reinforcing feedback as I feel this is an area that I could improve upon. I will provide any feedback that I feel has the opportunity to improve the individual that I provide feedback. I will plan provide feedback at least twice a day but will not limit myself to twice.
#2 I commit to speaking up more during conversations. I am a High S and C and most of the times I sit back and listen, taking in the information to develop my thoughts. I have the ability to speak up with my input at an early time. I would like my adapted style to even out by raising my D and I. By doing this I would be better equipped to lead different people that fall into the different categories. |

Hi Daniel,
Your style of S and C is where you feel more comfortable and at peace with yourself. I think by trying to manipulate your style to show more of the D and I is not you. The way you are is just fine. When necessary your D and I side will show its head. We all take on characteristics that make us who we are--they stem from where we were raised, how we were raised, our influences, etc. Depending on the situation, you use what is needed. For example, I totally enjoy public speaking, being out in front holding my own. However, if I am at a party, most likely you will see me sitting in the back of the room. I will most likely be in that spot the entire evening. Now as people come to my area I will hold a really good conversation with lots of laughs, but I won't physically be seen bouncing from table to table. I am not a fan of huge parties with a lot of people.

Daniel,
These are great goals. Improving your feedback skills with help you go a long way as a supervisor. Most people like knowing how they are doing and if they are heading in the right direction. I agree with Sharon that you shouldn't have to change your adapted style to raise your D and I. I believe we are both strong S and C. You just have to learn to adapt to the current situation and how to work with others that are not the same style as you. But it is good to practice to recognize how you can improve your D and I styles.

Great LPs, Daniel! How will you reflect on and measure the impact of these efforts? For example, what happens with those relationships with people to whom you start providing more reinforcing feedback? What is the positive outcome here? Best wishes with these!

Well, here I am to update my leadership practices. I wish I could say that I met my goals, But I am not going to lie about it. I have not meet my goal of providing as much feedback as I set out to. I have been out a lot so my interaction with co-workers has been somewhat limited. I have been speaking up more though.
To answer the assignments questions.
1. I believe that the feedback I have provide has been surprising to people as most don't seem like they receive the reinforcing feedback as frequently as one might think. For myself it is not a normal thing for me to provide the feedback so it felt somewhat odd at first but became easier as I continued. As for speaking more I am not sure how other feel about that but I feel that it is well received.
2. It is not normal for me to speak up and be reinforcing so it was challenging to figure out a way to open up and provide the feedback. As for the speaking up I just spoke my thoughts instead of thinking them. I am an introvert so it is naturally difficult for me to act this way. But I just stepped up and did what I needed to do.
3. I learned that people do appreciate the reinforcing feedback as it might not be utilized as much as one might think. It is also important to use a proper method of providing feedback like SBI. I learned that speaking up more can help people more than I thought.
4. I would like to continue providing feedback and use it more when I am in more of a team lead situation which is in the plan for my near future. I plan to continue being more vocal so that people know my thoughts and the information can be included as needed.
