Management feedback more strategically focused
Since 2001 our company has used the personnel development tool of management feedback for executives. This offers both the staff and superiors of our executives the opportunity to formulate criteria-driven feedback on an executive’s management style as they perceive it. The participating executives thus receive structured feedback on their managerial impact as well as on any possible need for development.
The management feedback tool was extensively overhauled for the second time since its adoption. The focus was on its rigorous orientation towards our company’s management principles. These are picked up on by way of targeted questions and their degree of fulfilment is made measurable. The additional assessment of the individual significance of the various management principles for each feedback provider simplifies both the identification of topical concentrations for the follow-up team discussion and the elaboration of personnel development measures.
The intention thereby is to directly support implementation of the strategy item “We want successful employees”; pivotal importance attaches in this regard both to our managerial staff and to team interaction.
