Summary

Giving feedback is one of the hardest skills for a new manager. But there's a framework that makes it easier: the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) model. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down SBI with a concrete example — an engineer who keeps derailing team meetings with off-topic tangents. They walk through how to prepare the observation, how to deliver it without triggering defensiveness, and how to follow up. Lucas shares why vague praise like 'good job' is almost useless, and Luna pushes back on whether SBI can feel too scripted. By the end, you'll have a repeatable structure for feedback conversations that actually change behavior — without damaging the relationship. #NewManager #Feedback #SBI #SituationBehaviorImpact #Leadership #Management #TeamCommunication #ConstructiveFeedback #BehavioralFeedback #ManagerTips #First90Days #Careers #Business #LeadershipSkills #WorkplaceCommunication #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
