Giving feedback on job performance isn’t easy, especially when it requires sharing information an employee may not want to hear. When managers don’t say what they think, both sides are left with a missed opportunity to improve group performance.
Alternatively, when feedback becomes too harsh or personal, employees can feel discouraged, and may even seek employment elsewhere because they interpret the aggressive tone as a lack of care for their professional development.
At our Smart Series on Wednesday, December 7, our speaker Beverly Jurenko will explore how to find the right balance. By using compassion and honesty together, managers can foster substantive conversations about work performance that are more likely to inspire trust and motivation to improve.
Beverly Jurenko, MBA and Founder of Inside Edge Consulting LLC, provides executive, leadership, and career coaching services. Beverly is a graduate of the Academy for Coaching Excellence, and a member of the International Coaching Federation.
