Soft skills: Leading employees

Give feedback

Do you wish your managers would give more and better feedback?

Not being scolded is enough praise?

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many managers forget to give their employees enough feedback to give. Positive contributions in particular are not appreciated enough because there is no obvious need for improvement. Yet it is so important to create an atmosphere of Appreciation to create an environment in which employees feel seen and recognized. This is the emotional prerequisite for people Top performance provide.

How negative criticism can also have positive effects

Also if behavior and performance do not meet expectations, this must be done by the manager be addressed openlyMany people find this uncomfortable because they fear that a conversation could create a bad mood and conflict.

Other leaders express their dissatisfaction spontaneously, unreflectively and emotionally, which means the desired effect is missed. Feedback is helpful when it serves to bring about improvements in the future. To do this, employees must fundamentally feel valued and understand what exactly they should change and how.

Leading out loud

Feedback is always subjective. Even objective facts can be perceived and evaluated differently by different people. If managers claim to want to judge "objectively", this realization initially unsettles them.

You can learn to deal with it well: Become aware of your own criteria and evaluation patterns and communicate them, leave room for other perspectives and yet make it clear that in the role of manager one must and will come to decisions and assessments despite and with all subjectivity.
