How to Strategically Receive, Utilize, and Handle Feedback from Your Team

If you're a boss it may take some time to get used to the fact that people aren't as willing to share feedback with you. People will take time to trust you and learn that they can give you feedback without the risk of losing their job, being looked over for a promotion, or any number of other things they may have feared at a previous job.

If your team is reluctant to give feedback it may be because of a lack of trust, confidence, or opportunities for them to share. If you're doing regular 1:1s, team meetings, employee happiness surveys, and debriefs after each project or deliverable, you're right on track!

Don't lose hope if it takes a while to get better feedback, your persistence and willingness to listen to (and accept!) feedback will make all of the difference.

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
