Are you a remote manager looking to build empathy with your team? We hear you. It can be incredibly tough to get real, authentic feedback from your team about how they’re doing and where they would benefit from your assistance. In turn, this makes it super tough to understand where your colleagues are coming from, which can result in all kinds of unfortunate miscommunications.
First things first, it’s important to understand the role that feedback plays in the development of your team. Regular, timely feedback from your team about their performance, worries and wins can help you understand your team members strengths and weaknesses, their goals, and help them grow in their careers. It can also improve team morale and overall performance if you are seen and thought of as a manager is interesting in their wellbeing.
But understanding the subtle nuance of feedback from your team can be tough, especially when you’re not in the same physical location as they are.
