Feedback Frameworks
4 promptsSBI Framework
1/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes Situation-Behavior-Impact feedback for [describe], naming the moment, the behavior, and the effect on people or results, not their character. Say those three lines in your meeting and then pause.
Situation-Behavior-Impact feedback. Event: [describe]. Include: specific situation, specific behavior observed, impact on others/work/outcomes. Focus on behavior not character.
Pro tip: SBI: objective framework. Situation ("In yesterday's meeting"), Behavior ("you interrupted three times"), Impact ("which shut down X's contribution"). Specific + kind.
Radical Candor Application
2/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT applies radical candor to [describe]: show you care, say the hard thing clearly, and skip both soft untruths and blunt cruelty. Check that both care and candor are in the draft before you send or say it.
Radical candor feedback. Situation: [describe]. Include: care personally (demonstrate care), challenge directly (clear honest), avoid ruinous empathy (soften-no-truth), avoid obnoxious aggression (truth-no-care). Both together.
Pro tip: Radical candor = care + challenge together. Softening without truth = ruinous empathy. Harsh without care = obnoxious. Both required.
Positive Feedback Structure
3/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT turns [describe] into specific praise: the behavior, the impact, why it matters, thanks, and how to use it again. Deliver it soon, in public if that fits your team.
Positive feedback specific. Achievement: [describe]. Include: specific behavior, impact, why it matters, appreciation expressed, future application. Not generic praise.
Pro tip: Positive specific > generic. "Great job" = meaningless. "Your X decision saved 40 hours + showed leadership" = reinforces what to do more of.
Feedback Sandwich Caution
4/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT explains why the praise-criticism-praise sandwich often buries the real message, when a minor correction can still use it, and cleaner alternatives. Pick a direct opening for your next note and drop the fake compliment.
Feedback sandwich critique. Include: why sandwich often fails (softens critical message), alternatives (direct feedback, separate positive/negative), when sandwich works (softening minor corrections), modern approach.
Pro tip: Feedback sandwich: used badly = confusing. Critical feedback buried = missed. Modern: deliver positive separately + critical directly. Clarity > softening.

Critical Feedback
4 promptsCritical Feedback Script
5/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT scripts critical feedback on [describe]: permission to talk, the behavior, the impact, the change you want, support, and a follow-up. Practice it once out loud, then have the meeting.
Script for critical feedback. Situation: [describe]. Include: permission opener, specific behavior, impact, expected change, support offered, follow-up. Direct + caring.
Pro tip: Critical feedback: specific behavior only. Character judgments ("you're lazy") = defensive. Behavior judgments ("three missed deadlines") = discussable.
Performance Issue Feedback
6/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT drafts an HR-appropriate performance talk for [describe]: facts, the pattern, team impact, expected improvement, support, and what happens if nothing changes. Loop HR if your policy requires it, then document.
Address performance issue. Employee: [describe]. Include: factual observation, pattern acknowledgment, impact on team, expected improvement, support, consequences if unchanged. HR-appropriate.
Pro tip: Performance issues: early + direct. Accumulated silence + sudden PIP = surprise + shock. Clear expectations + feedback from start.
Behavioral Feedback
7/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes values-based behavioral feedback on [describe]: incidents, team impact, the value at stake, the change, and regard for the person. Stick to behaviors you saw, not stories you heard.
Behavioral feedback (not skills). Behavior: [describe]. Include: specific incidents, impact on team dynamics, values connection, expected change, unconditional regard. Values-based.
Pro tip: Behavior > skills. Skills teachable; behavior reveals values. Behavior feedback delicate + essential. Connect to team values.
Feedback After Tough Decision
8/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT frames feedback after [describe]: you respect that it was their call, you assess it honestly, you ask learning questions, and you stay in their corner. Lead with respect so the honesty can land.
Feedback after difficult decision they made. Decision: [describe]. Include: respect for decision authority, honest assessment, learning questions, support going forward. Respect + honesty.
Pro tip: Post-decision feedback: respect the decision already made. Second-guessing = undermining. Focus on process + learning, not redo.
Feedback Recipients
4 promptsUpward Feedback to Boss
9/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT drafts upward feedback on [describe]: ask permission, name one observation, the impact, a suggestion not a demand, and genuine support. Send or say it in your 1:1, not in a group thread.
Upward feedback to manager. Topic: [describe]. Include: permission-based opener, specific observation, impact, suggestion (not demand), genuine support for them. Diplomatic honest.
Pro tip: Upward feedback: politically risky + valuable. "I'd appreciate more direction on X" > "you don't give enough direction." Framing matters hugely.
Peer Feedback
10/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes peer feedback on [describe] in a collegial tone: the behavior, the impact, an invite to talk, and care for the relationship. Offer it as a conversation with your peer, not a verdict.
Peer-to-peer feedback. Situation: [describe]. Include: collegial tone, specific behavior, impact, invitation to discuss, relationship preservation. Peer respect.
Pro tip: Peer feedback: no authority to enforce. Relationship + care drives receptiveness. "I noticed X; thoughts?" = invitation, not mandate.
Cross-Functional Feedback
11/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT drafts cross-functional feedback for [describe]: thanks for the partnership, one improvement, the business impact, and a collaborative tone. Keep your ask to one thing so the partnership stays intact.
Feedback to cross-functional partner. Context: [describe]. Include: partnership appreciation, specific improvement area, business impact, collaborative tone. Preserve partnership.
Pro tip: Cross-functional: relationship-heavy feedback. Project delivered + continued partnership critical. Harsh = broken partnership.
Feedback to Senior Leader
12/16✨ What it does

Feedback to senior executive. Topic: [describe]. Include: respect for position, data-backed observation, business impact, framed as decision input. Executive-respectful.
Pro tip: Senior exec feedback: data + business impact. "I observed X which may impact Y" > emotional complaint. Treat as peer business input.

Feedback Culture
4 promptsAsking for Feedback
13/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT helps you ask for feedback with a specific request, real openness, safety for the giver, and a follow-up. Ask one named person this week and report back what you changed.
Request feedback from others. Include: specific request (not "any feedback"), genuine openness, protect psychological safety of giver, follow up on feedback received. Build culture.
Pro tip: Requesting feedback: specific > general. "How can I improve my Q4 planning meeting?" > "any feedback?" Specific questions get specific answers.
Feedback Giving Habit
14/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a daily feedback habit: small positive and constructive notes, a rough 3-to-1 mix, and the culture that creates. Give one specific thank-you today before you give a critique.
Build feedback-giving habit. Include: daily feedback moments, both positive + constructive, 3:1 positive-to-constructive ratio research, team culture impact. Systematic practice.
Pro tip: Feedback habit: small daily > rare formal. "Good X in that meeting" + "one suggestion" = constant calibration. Waiting for reviews = late.
Feedback Culture Building
15/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT plans a team feedback-culture shift from [describe]: you model it, safety, concrete practices, norms, and how you will see progress. Start with your own asks, not a new policy slide.
Build team feedback culture. Current: [describe]. Include: leader modeling, psychological safety, specific practices, norms setting, progress measurement. Gradual culture shift.
Pro tip: Feedback culture: starts with leader. Leader asks for + responds to feedback = team follows. Leader defensive = team silent.

16/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT turns [describe] into a post-feedback plan: reflect, pick actions, accountability, follow up with the giver, and track growth. Close the loop with the person who told you.
Post-feedback action plan. Feedback received: [describe]. Include: reflection on feedback, action items chosen, accountability structure, follow-up with feedback-giver, growth tracking. Growth actioned.
Pro tip: Feedback received + no action = feedback dies. Specific plan + follow-up with giver = growth + signal to others feedback valued.
