When was the last time you asked your team for feedback on how you were doing as their leader?
I am not talking about the mandatory employee satisfaction survey your company sponsors…I mean really honest face-to-face feedback.
How do you think you are doing?
The below are sample questions you could ask to jumpstart your feedback:
How well do I communicate to you what I expect from you?
Am I too involved with your work or not involved enough?
Do you feel comfortable asking me questions and discussing work-related concerns with me?
How do I show you that I am interested in your success at ____
Do I listen to new ideas?
Do I treat everyone fairly?
How well do I communicate our company vision and how your role contributes to that vision?
How well do I communicate our department’s goals and individual goals?
How well do I encourage, motivate and support individual efforts?
What do you wish I would do differently?
I hope these questions help. Would love to hear how the feedback conversations go, and if you have any other questions we should add to the list.
PS – Live on Purpose!
