Giving Your Boss Feedback

Introduction Giving your boss feedback, can be a tricky process to master. You could be putting your job or your relationship at risk by telling your boss what you see or by giving him frank feedback.

Important However, if offered correctly and thoughtfully, your insight can not only help your boss, but also improve your working relationship.

What the Experts Say Leadership is all about perception; if leaders do not know how they are perceived, their performance will suffer. However, the higher up in an organization a leader sits, the harder it is to get honest feedback.

Inputs – Be Careful! Your input can help your boss see herself as others see her and help her to make critical adjustments in his behavior and approach. However, giving this type of feedback requires careful thought.

The Relationship comes first The ability to give and receive upward feedback is dependent on the relationship between you and your boss. Without trust, the feedback will be impossible to receive.

The Relationship comes first Before giving feedback, you need to gauge whether your boss will be open to what you have to say. If you know that your boss is unreceptive to feedback, is likely to react negatively, or if you have a rocky relationship, it's better not to say anything.

The Relationship comes first If your boss is open-minded and you have a good relationship, you owe him the straight talk. As with any feedback, your intentions must be good and your desire to help your boss should supersede any issues you may have between you.

Wait to Be Invited or Ask to Be Invited? Even if you have a great relationship, launching into unsolicited feedback is ill-advised. General advice on how to be a better boss is tough to give unless you're asked for it.

Wait to Be Invited or Ask to Be Invited? If your boss does not directly request feedback, you can ask if he would like feedback. This is often most easily done in the context of a new project or new client.

Wait to Be Invited or Ask to Be Invited? You can say something like: –Would it be helpful to you for me to give you feedback at certain points in this project? –Would you like some feedback about how the project is going?

Focus on Your Perspective Your feedback should focus on what you are seeing or hearing, not what you would do as the boss. By sharing your perspective you can help your boss to see how others are seeing him.

Focus on Your Perspective You need to remember that you are seeing only a partial picture of your boss's performance and you may not appreciate or realize the demands on him.

Focus on Your Perspective Your feedback should be honest and data-driven. Open with affirmative feedback and give constructive feedback with suggestions for improvement. Avoid accusations. "People react much, much better to specifics than to generalitie."

When Your Boss Bites Back No matter how carefully or thoughtfully you've prepared and delivered your feedback, your boss may get upset or be defensive about the feedback you've given. Rather than clamming up after a negative reaction, take the opportunity to check in with him about what would be useful going forward.

When in Doubts, Hold your Tongue If you're not sure if your boss wants to hear feedback or if the subject of the feedback is a sensitive one, it's almost always better to not speak up. There is no reason to risk your working relationship or your job, unless you feel your boss's behavior is putting the company or your unit in jeopardy.

Principles to Remember Do Be certain your boss is open and receptive to feedback before speaking up. Share with him what you are seeing and hearing in his organization or unit. Focus on how you can help him improve, not on what you would do if you were boss

Principles to Remember Don’t Assume your boss doesn't want feedback if he doesn't request it — ask if he would like to hear your insight. Presume you know or appreciate your boss's full situation. Give feedback as way to get back at your boss for giving you negative feedback.
