Feedback First — For Teams

Feedback
in Teams.

Trust. A common language. Shared norms.

The problem

Technology raises the pace. Human coordination still decides the outcome.

In high-tech, high-pressure environments—from aviation and complex operations to business transformation and AI-enabled work—misunderstandings travel quickly. Weak assumptions go unchallenged, risk stays unspoken, and people can become disconnected from their team and work.

How we solve it

Feedback First builds trust, a common language, and shared norms.

Based on teaming in high-risk, high-performance environments, we support teams to give feedback clearly and receive it calmly.

It has been said that to avoid learning and growing, do nothing, say nothing, but end up, being nothing. In high-performance organizations, feedback is a sine qua non. Anybody interested in creating such organizations would do well to become familiar with Evekink and Becker’s CLEAR + CALM model that demonstrates ingeniously how to manage feedback from the giver and receiver’s point of view.

Feedback is not criticism. Feedback First shows us that knowing the difference could save your life or your job or your company.

Ken Blanchard said that ‘feedback is the breakfast of champions’ I personally believe that this is true and more important than ever. In a world which is changing so fast, receiving honest and constructive feedback is paramount to be able to adapt and stay relevant. At Amadeus we have been working with the CALM and CLEAR model as it sets the foundation for an agile and transparent culture.
