The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me give a colleague feedback. What happened: [specific situation, when] The impact: [on the work, team, customer, me] What I'd like instead: [specific] Our relationship: [e.g. peer, I manage them, they're senior] How they usually take feedback: [details] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A short script: situation, behaviour, impact, request. Under 80 words. 2. A written version for a message, if that's better. 3. What to say if they get defensive. 4. A version that also says what's going well, if that's true from what I've told you. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
