Why Feedback?
The Reality:
People need feedback.
Most people have ?blind spots.? They don?t see themselves as others see them. For this reason, they often don?t understand the impact their actions have on others. Although well-intentioned and hard-working, they may be the only ones who don?t know they are causing problems. Feedback is essential for them to improve their performance.
People who take a professional attitude toward their work want feedback. They want to know what?s working and what isn?t. They want to be part of solutions, not the cause of problems. They don?t like having blind spots, and they want to know how to improve.
The Challenge:
People rarely give and receive feedback.
The problem is that most people don?t know how to affirm each other?s strengths, and they find it uncomfortable to confront each other directly about performance issues. They often find it easier to bring these things up to fellow team members, so the individual who needs the feedback never hears it. Also, when someone gets feedback from only one person, there?s a tendency to discount the feedback as just a single opinion?whether the feedback is positive or constructive.
How can your organization encourage people to give and receive valuable feedback so they can perform at their best?
The Solution:
20/20? Insight GOLD empowers the feedback process.
People need an efficient, confidential and anonymous vehicle for giving feedback to each other. State-of-the-art software can simplify the process of collecting multi-source (360) feedback for anyone in your organization.
20/20 Insight GOLD is the world?s most versatile feedback tool. With this system, we can set up surveys to collect virtually any type of feedback?ideas, opinions, impressions, ratings?from any number of people about the performance of an individual, a team or even your organization as a whole.
Case Study: How Feedback Helped One Manager Get Results
John* was a newly promoted manager with a major utility company. With his new position, he inherited a team of 13 supervisors. Most were long-term employees, and John was much younger than most of his direct reports. Many of the supervisors thought they deserved the promotion and resented John?s appointment.
He soon discovered that the performance of his supervisors was below par. He spent a lot of time working on relationships with each of them, clarifying service standards and trying to build a cohesive team. Despite his best efforts, John encountered resistance; and performance did not improve. He knew that the supervisors were unhappy, but he couldn?t get them to talk about their dissatisfaction. When he learned about 20/20 Insight, he decided to use it to ask for feedback about his leadership practices. He hoped that the information gained would provide a basis for dialogue and team building.
Working with a consultant, John selected the behaviors critical to his leadership. The consultant then met with the team and explained how the feedback would be collected. She assured everyone that their responses would be anonymous. After the feedback was collected, the consultant met with John to help him interpret the data and establish his priorities for action. She also coached him on how to respond to the feedback.
Over the next few weeks, John met with his direct reports individually and as a group. He asked them to clarify certain aspects of the feedback. He also explained which priority areas he planned to work on first and why he did not plan to alter some behaviors.
He saw an immediate change in his team. Resistance decreased, productivity increased and a customer service orientation began to take hold. Over time, he was able to rebuild his team of supervisors. They pulled together to become the only team to meet or exceed all established performance goals for the next quarter. They continued to perform well, and within the year John received a substantial promotion. He attributed much of his success to the feedback process and the open dialogue it produced.
* The name of the manager has been changed to protect confidentiality.
