This full circle of feedback provides a comprehensive view of the employees performance and a clear guide for focused development.

Angela Kambouris writes on 8 different ways you can improve your leadership style to be a more effective leader. Giving feedback is one of the key components of a leader, however, the delivery of that feedback is what has the lasting impact on the employee and ultimately what creates the culture of the workplace environment. This article hits on ways leaders can improve on providing feedback to their employees.

Does your team need the extra support with providing feedback? In Kambouris' article she states that 'HBR research reported that 69 percent of managers were not comfortable giving feedback, and 37 percent would not give critical feedback at all'. If this is true for your leadership team, it may be time to consider some feedback support.

AAI offers a powerful tool that supports employees in receiving anonymous feedback from their superior, peers, direct reports and clients/collaborators - the 360 Assessment. Information is consolidated and reported in a way that maintains confidentiality while giving individuals a comprehensive view of their performance and a clear guide for focused development.
