When you’re the boss, it can be hard to get anyone to tell you the truth about how you’re doing, or what they think of the business. If you want to make sure you’re separating the truth-tellers from the brown-nosers, you’ll need these tips. One of the best things you can do is to push your employees to be honest. It’s hard for people to let their guard down, but if you make them feel comfortable in doing so by framing it as a favor to yourself you should get more honest responses. Another way to do this is to frame the conversation around your future behavior. People will be much more comfortable talking about what hasn’t happened yet, so ask about what you can do better going forward rather than what you did poorly in the past. Even doing this, you’ll probably need to ask more than once. Give multiple opportunities for feedback, and you’ll increase the chances people will feel comfortable sharing their minds. Great communication is important for a great company, so keep these tips in mind when talking to your employees! Read the full article here: How to Get Employees to Give You Honest Feedback
