MBA1021 How To Get Feedback About You From Your Team

How are you doing so far?

That’s a question every business owner needs to ask their team from time to time. Asking, of course, is easy. Getting honest answers, though…that’s something else.

Today, we discuss how to make your employees comfortable enough to tell the truth. By creating the right environment, with a commitment to openness and mutual respect, you can get the information you need to do better — and earn your team’s esteem.
