Have been listening to the podcast for ages, love it! I work for a 2500 person company that doesn't have a proper way for directs to evaluate their managers. Being new to the company, and management, I would find this sort of feedback very valuable. I've talked with some peers and they agree. We have the go-ahead from our director to give surveys to our old teams (we just reorg'd due to growth). I wanted to get some feedback from you on what might be some good questions to include on the form.
Some more info: inside sales, average teams of 14.
Thank you!
Three simple questions
For formal feedback, we use an externally moderated 360 tool, which I find quite useful. Unfortunately, I don't have soft copy and I can't tell you which one.
For informal feedback, we've gotten pretty good results asking three questions:
1) What three behaviors should I do more of?
2) What three behaviors should I do less of?
3) What three behaviors should I keep doing?
The results require a bit of interpretation, but this has worked fairly well. My boss asks my directs for this information (his skips), collates it, and uses it as part of my performance feedback.
