How to Give Corrective Feedback: The C.A.R.E. Model - Eliminating Negative Behavior, By Focusing On Accountability

Corrective feedback has to be timely, tactful and clear when you face negative situations at work: uncontrolled negativity, offensive language, constant criticism, hygiene or clothing issues, religious or political arguments, tardiness or poor performance. Conflict handled badly creates more complaints, hurts productivity and makes the workplace unpredictable.

This 90-minute webinar gives you a corrective action approach built on the C.A.R.E. model: Connecting, Attention, Respect and Expectations. You'll learn the language and habits that move a conversation from blame to self-awareness and problem solving, and how to get someone to agree to change their behavior.

It goes well beyond the familiar “sandwich” method of feedback and includes three self-tests on empowering, engaging and coaching employees.

• Apply the four steps of the C.A.R.E. model to a corrective conversation
• Recognize when you are losing control and stop the snowball effect of negativity
• Read body language and use interpersonal skills to defuse conflict
• Identify the causes of negative behavior and workplace dysfunction and correct them
• Use leadership styles, relationship strategies and communication principles that build trust
• Move employees from blame toward accountability and problem solving
