Difficulty obtaining actionable professional feedback from managers
🧭 worksocial problemSingle report ●●●●●
An employee reports difficulty obtaining constructive criticism from their manager, who provides minimal feedback in formal reviews and is perceived to withhold negative feedback until termination, leaving the employee unsure how to improve their performance.
What people do today
- Requesting additional meetings
- Self-evaluating performance
- Asking for specific project involvement
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A structured feedback template app that prompts managers to provide specific, categorized performance data on a monthly basis.
- A peer-to-peer feedback platform that allows employees to gather anonymous, constructive insights from colleagues to supplement manager reviews.
- A professional coaching service or workshop series that teaches employees how to facilitate 'radical candor' conversations with avoidant managers.
