Without feedback, leaders are unsure if they are hitting or missing the mark.

Few leaders say that they get too much feedback from his/her boss and stakeholders. Most assume that “no news is good news” In fact a leader may consistently “hit” the numbers and receive recognition for the results. At the same time stakeholders, especially peers and team members are frustrated and even marginalized by HOW the leader is achieving the results. If leaders are not given feedback, they cannot be expected to change the ways they behave.

As leaders transition into new organizations and roles, it is critical that they receive feedback very early—30 to 45 days—in position. Research indicates that certain behaviors are associated with long-term success in the new role and/or organization.
 

  • Is the new leader learning about our organization?

  • Is the new leader listening and building relationships?

  • Is the new leader’s behavior consistent with our culture?

Are You Connected?® early feedback survey assesses your new leaders’ onboarding success by gathering quantitative and qualitative data from key stakeholders. Survey results, based on 7 key onboarding indicators, tell new leaders where they are hitting or missing the mark while also providing proven strategies to address the feedback.

Feedback is also critical in leadership development situations. Leaders will not be successful in their development process if they are not getting an accurate gauge of where they stand today, how they are perceived and where they need to improve, as well as leverage their strengths.
