Manager Feedback
Give employees an anonymous way to provide feedback to their manager – on goal clarity, feedback, trust and role-model behaviour.
Good leadership thrives on feedback – including from the bottom up. This template captures key leadership behaviours such as setting clear goals, regular feedback, trust, support and role-model behaviour via a matrix, complemented by an overall rating and an open question. It is deliberately anonymous so employees can answer honestly – the ideal basis for developing your managers.
