Describe performance using observed behavior
See this course’s project requirements
A first-line supervisor practice file with delegated outcomes and authority, check-in agreements, behavior-based feedback, revised workload and documented follow-through.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A bounded delegated-work brief with an issue-escalation route.
- A capacity-based assignment record with the reason for its choice.
- A check-in plan with milestone evidence, support questions and escalation triggers.
- An observed-work feedback note and inquiry about barriers.
- An approved workload revision with capacity and responsibility checks.
- A closed-loop delegation/feedback file with before/after results and remaining limits.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Roles, constraints and permissions are preserved and tied to supplied evidence.
- The original case is worked with visible intermediate decisions and units.
- Changed cases revise the affected record and preserve unresolved questions.
- Six lesson outputs form one usable, dated team-operations file with a supported next step.

The idea in everyday life
Original fictional workplace practice. Use only the supplied people, records, permissions and educational policies; no real employee, applicant, organization or account is required. At 13:10 KIT12 output has 12 kits, but K5 and K9 lack required labels. Ten meet both acceptance checks. Materials were supplied; the cause of the missing labels is not established. Asha agrees a 13:30 recheck after label correction.
Feedback uses observations and standards, not character labels. The next action must address the actual gap and possible support barrier.
Describe performance using observed behavior — worked practice
Feedback uses observations and standards, not character labels. The next action must address the actual gap and possible support barrier.
Use paper or a local document. All people, records, criteria and dates below are invented. At 13:10 KIT12 output has 12 kits, but K5 and K9 lack required labels. Ten meet both acceptance checks. Materials were supplied; the cause of the missing labels is not established. Asha agrees a 13:30 recheck after label correction.

| AOutput evidence | BCriterion result | CCause status |

1. Step 1: Record the observed IDs and missing-label criterion without guessing the cause
Record the observed IDs and missing-label criterion without guessing the cause.
You should see: K5/K9 missing labels;10 of 12 accepted.
Feedback uses observations and standards, not character labels. The next action must address the actual gap and possible support barrier.
2. Step 2: State impact:these two cannot be matched to their intended kit record
State impact:these two cannot be matched to their intended kit record.
You should see: The gap matters to the supplied handoff requirement.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
3. Step 3: Draft feedback: “At 13:10 K5 and K9 lacked labels
Draft feedback: “At 13:10 K5 and K9 lacked labels. Please correct and use the precheck, then show all 12 at 13:30. Were instructions or supplies unclear?”
You should see: The note names behavior, next step, time and a barrier question.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
4. Step 4: Keep the original evidence and agreed revision; do not claim correction before t
Keep the original evidence and agreed revision; do not claim correction before the new inspection.
You should see: Correction agreed; result pending.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
What to finish
An observed-work feedback note and inquiry about barriers.
Watch for this
Calling a worker careless instead of describing the observed output and checking the cause.
How can I tell I understand it?
Give behavior-based feedback linked to an agreed criterion, its impact and a supported next action on the supplied changed case while preserving the stated rule and checking the final record.
