What
A way to deliver feedback that is clear, respectful, actionable, and non-confrontational. BEAR stands for Behavior, Effect, Alternative, Result.
Why
Feedback that just says 'you are wrong' rarely gets the result you want — especially in a team of equals. Addressing the behavior, solution-first, reduces defensiveness and opens up conversation.
How
- See the model in action.
- Build your own feedback one letter at a time.
- Read the finished script back before you say it.
