"Most managers aren't avoiding feedback because they don't care. It's because it feels awkward and uncomfortable, and they're hoping things will somehow get better on their own. Spoiler alert: they almost never do."
"The cost of avoiding feedback is almost always higher than the cost of the conversation you didn't want to have. Avoiding feedback doesn't protect your employees, nor your organization."
"You know what people write in Glassdoor reviews when they've been let go for performance? More like: No one ever told me where I stood until the day I was fired."
Many managers avoid giving feedback due to discomfort, hoping issues will resolve themselves. This often results in unresolved performance problems and a lack of clarity for employees. Delaying feedback can create legal complications and lead to negative employee experiences, as individuals may feel blindsided by performance evaluations. The avoidance of feedback does not protect employees or organizations; instead, it prevents improvement and fosters frustration. Understanding the reasons behind this avoidance is crucial for effective management.
