Iceberg Model
Iceberg model is a tool that allows you to shift your perspective and see beyond the immediate events that everyone notices. It helps you to uncover root causes of why those events happen. That's possible by looking at deeper levels of abstraction within the system that are not immediately obvious.

Iceberg Model
Situation-Behavior-Impact
1. Situation
Start with the situation where the behavior occurred. This helps with making the feedback specific and the other person can more easily relate to it.
2. Behavior
Describe the specific behavior you're giving feedback about. Tell the other person what they've done or what you've seen, not your interpretation of it. This is critical to leave your judgement out of the feedback.
3. Impact
Explain what kind of impact their behavior had. This can range from what you thought and felt and why, to broader impact on others or the whole team.
Plus: Intent
Sometimes, you may want to ask what the intention was behind their behavior. They might have a sound reason that you don't know about or is different from your assumptions.
This can greatly help explain the gap between their intent and the actual impact.
Encourage reflection
Feedback is only useful when it's considered and acted upon. Encourage the other person to reflect on what you've said and think how they might act differently in the future.
