A gap often exists between self-perception and supervisor feedback; your response can shape your career.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  • Listen to feedback without reacting immediately.
  • After emotions subside, assess the feedback against facts and equity principles. Compare with other reviews.
  • Address any concerns with the supervisor, especially potential biases. Clarify both the manager's and employee's roles in the review.
  • Identify areas for improvement. If feedback is unfair, advocate for yourself.
