Receive Clear and Useful Feedback: Ditch Generic Questions
Asking for feedback can be a daunting task for many. Factors such as company culture, personal fears, uninvolved managers, and past experiences with useless feedback can make the process challenging. However, these obstacles should not discourage you from seeking feedback.
As someone who leads teams, providing feedback is a crucial part of my role. Whether it’s on a regular basis or during performance reviews, feedback plays a significant role in personal and professional growth. In a previous post, I discussed how I use the SBIN framework to provide feedback.
To help you navigate the feedback process effectively, I have compiled a list of over 60 example questions that you can use to structure your feedback. These questions will not only help you target your feedback more effectively but also elicit higher quality responses.
