Descriptive vs. Suggestion feedback Describes behavior or action and its impact “ Rahman when you promise me that you will have a report ready at a certain time and I don,t get it, that really frustrates me. It puts me behind schedule and makes me feel very resentful toward you. Are you aware that such things are going on, and how should we work out this kind of problem?” Suggestion “Rahman, let me make a suggestion that would really be of help to me as we work together. If you could get your reports to me on time, particularly those that have been promised at a certain time, it would help my work schedule and reduce my frustration. Also, if I don,t get a report on time, what would you prefer I do about it”
