ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
Lead the RIGHT Actions: How to Maximize Stakeholder Feedback
The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.
– Peter Drucker
Stakeholder feedback data can be overwhelming and confusing. We must engage in conversations about the feedback to be able to understand why stakeholders are feeling the way they do. In this roundtable, Leader Coaches Melissa Matarazzo and Julie Kunselman highlighted themes we’ve heard nationwide from student, parent and school employee surveys about their experiences throughout the COVID-19 pandemic along with tips on how to rollout results from feedback and engage our stakeholders.
In the roundtable and the discussion groups, Melissa and Julie shared survey results and challenged leaders to think about the results and how they could take action in their own organizations from the data they receive:
-
Which survey theme(s) resonated with you, and what have you tried to address those perceptions?
-
What questions might you ask to understand these themes or feedback you’ve received?
-
What methods do you use to communicate about the “right action” that you’ve selected?

Transform Feedback into Action: Engage Stakeholders by “Rolling Out” Results
Healthy organizations consistently monitor critical data like the engagement of staff and the satisfaction of internal and external stakeholders. Often this is accomplished by surveying stakeholders of the organization. The key to these surveys is not the data itself. The key is how well leaders share the data with their staff and stakeholders and how well leaders communicate the actions the organization will take based on feedback from the survey data. This transparent communication process is what we call “rolling out” results.
