Performance Feedback
Feedback
Why Managers Are Reluctant to Give
Feedback
– Uncomfortable discussing performance
weaknesses directly with employees.
– Employees tend to become defensive when
their weaknesses are discussed.
– Employees tend to have an inflated
assessment of their own performance.
Solutions to Improving Feedback
– Train managers in giving effective feedback.
– Use performance review as counseling activity
than as a judgment process.
