Feedback Categories

Researcher Carl Roger suggests that leaders provide feedback as they interact with their subordinates.  Roger identified five main categories of feedback as they appear in everyday conversation:

• Evaluative: Making a judgment about the value or appropriateness of a subordinate’s statement.

• Interpretive: Restating what a subordinate means.

• Supportive: Encouraging or bolstering a subordinate’s communication.

• Probing: Attempting to gain additional information, continue the discussion, or clarify a point.

• Understanding: Attempting to discover completely what the subordinate means.
