Group Feedback Meeting

The Group Feedback Meeting is the culmination of all the work that has been done to this point. During the course of analyzing your results you will have concurrently developed your Action Plans and the Agenda for this critical meeting. Your major objectives for this meeting are:

• To express your appreciation to the people who have given you feedback (whether you liked it or not!) since they have taken a risk to be helpful.

• To candidly share your reactions to the results (Yes, they really do want to know!)

• To share with them what you are pleased about (Strengths), what you agree with them you need to work on (Development Needs), and what you need further clarification on, the discrepancies between how you see yourself and how they experience you - (Overratings and Underratings.)

• To promote an open dialogue with your work team so that you and they can forge more productive social contracts and be more responsive to your mutual needs.

• To share with them your provisional Action Plans and encourage them to augment those plans with additional suggestions.

A significant amount of effort has gone into providing managers using the MFS™ process with excellent “job aids” for them to use in planning and conducting this meeting. Nonetheless, we encourage managers to engage a competent resource to function as a facilitator for the MFS™ process and particularly for this meeting.

At the conclusion of this meeting, managers reaffirm their commitment to follow-up and follow through on their Action Plans. They also distribute a brief paper-and-pencil evaluation form which gives participants an opportunity to evaluate the entire process and also to give the manager additional feedback if they choose to do so.
