Ideas for Action: Upward Feedback
What is one thing you want me to continue doing?
What is one thing that I can do to help your productivity? Your professional growth?
If you could get me to stop doing one thing, what would it be (i.e., it diminishes your productivity, morale)?
If you could get me to start doing one thing, what would it be (i.e., it would increase your productivity, morale)?
