A quote from Graham Alexander, Author of The Grow Model in CIPD's Coaching at Work.
Anyone who has coached - or who has debriefed 360 degree appraisals - has struggled with this one. I've been so caught up in not giving advice and letting the recipient gain their own understanding that I've found myself not stating facts or clear points. It is a lesson to us all and I shall remember this simple pithy quote the next time I am giving 360 feedback.

"If someone asks where the photocopier is, tell them. Don't say, ' if you knew where it was, where would it be?'"I had to smile.
