I need to give my manager feedback that they interrupt people in meetings too often.
Thinking
AssessThe candidate has identified a real behavioral problem but is approaching it at the behavior level rather than the intent level. Feedback that only describes behavior without addressing the underlying driver is easy to dismiss.
LocateThe critical diagnostic: is the interruption pattern driven by impatience, by enthusiasm, by anxiety about time, or by a belief that their ideas are more important? Each explanation requires a different framing for the feedback.
DecidePush them to form a hypothesis about the driver before designing the feedback. The hypothesis does not need to be confirmed -- just held lightly. But it changes the framing from accusation to invitation.
The behavior observation is valid. Before the conversation, answer this: what is your theory of why they interrupt? The answer changes everything about how you frame it.
