Empower your leaders to actively solicit, listen to and gather feedback

Below are a list of questions managers can use to gain the information they need to grow and develop. Encourage your team to provide specific examples around how leadership is or is not showing up around each question. Provide space for them to share ideas around how improvements can be made.

• Have I effectively communicated how you are measuring up against your performance goals?

• Do I make a concerted effort to create moments for idea sharing and cross team communication?

• Do I show you that your growth and advancement is a priority to me?

• Do I create an environment that feels psychologically safe and inclusive for everyone?

• Do you feel confident in my leadership capabilities?

• Do I foster an environment for learning?

• Do I make expectations clear?

• Am I sensitive to your unique circumstances?

• Do I proactively cultivate a feeling of inclusion on the team, considering all voices, perspectives and ideas?

• Do I use my leadership to reduce inequity across the organization?

• Do I promote a culture of appreciation, reflection and accountability?
