Most feedback changes how someone feels for an afternoon and nothing else. This checks whether yours actually changes behaviour. Six questions.
Answer for how you typically give feedback. The questions look at whether your feedback is grounded, clean, and built to land as action rather than as a verdict.
The Feedback Diagnostic is a free feedback skills assessment from Impact Thinking — 6 statements, about three minutes, built directly on the frameworks published on our research desk. It reads the six moves that decide whether feedback lands — grounding, separating the act from the person, and ending in a request — and shows which one is blunting yours.
It’s built for leaders whose feedback changes the mood but not the behaviour. The free read returns your band and profile immediately, with an interpretation of what the result means and the one thing it suggests you can’t currently see. It pairs with The Inner & Outer Game of Leadership, the programme built on the same ground.
It reads the six moves that decide whether feedback lands — grounding, separating the act from the person, and ending in a request — and shows which one is blunting yours. It reads 6 statements and returns a banded profile with a deep interpretation.
About three minutes — 6 statements on a five-point scale. The read is free and immediate: your band, your profile, and the blind spot it points to. A full personalised report, benchmarked against other leaders, is £95; a whole-team report is £495.
It’s a structured self-assessment built on the frameworks published on our research desk — designed for development, team performance and measurement, not for hiring decisions. For selection contexts we run structured engagements where instruments inform, and never replace, human judgment.
Most often because it arrives as a verdict on the person rather than a grounded observation with a request attached. People defend their identity instead of changing their behaviour. The diagnostic shows where your version breaks.
