Some managers assume their star employees don’t need feedback.
They’re clearly doing a good job and they don’t need to improve, right? Wrong.
Even your top performers need input to stay engaged, focused, and motivated.
Here’s how.
• Frequently give your stars both positive and negative feedback. Tell them how much you appreciate their good work.
• Identify and share development areas, even if there are only a few. Talk with your stars about how they might achieve the next level of performance.
• And, don’t miss the opportunity to solicit input on how you are doing as a manager. Ask questions such as “How can I help you improve?” or “What can our organization do to support your great work?”
Today’s Management Tip was adapted from Guide to Giving Effective Feedback.
