KSS - Keep, Start, Stop Doing

KSS is a super simple feedback tool. It offers a mini-framework for feedback focusing on three areas
  • KEEP doing
  • START doing
  • STOP doing
 
E.g.
  • KEEP bringing your awesome energy to the office every day - it really makes a difference
  • START giving more praise to those in your team
  • STOP interrupting less junior people in the meeting

Why is this useful?

  • Having a framework for your feedback can make feedback feel less personal and awkward
  • It stops you from avoiding the negative OR only talking about the negative

When to use this?

  • Co-founder feedback sessions
  • 1-on-1s
