Inspired by REAL Anonymous Boss Feedback (Data Drop #7 https://lnkd.in/eMFFanwR): 𝟴𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 >𝟭𝟬% 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 📈 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱!
In this post I'm looking at three key performance drivers: 𝗕𝗶𝗮𝘀, 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. Now imagine - what happens to team dynamics if you as manager are seen as biased, unfair, and inconsistent with rewards? What if all three go wrong?
𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 says:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 🥳
🌟 2 in 3 say their boss is unbiased and gives equal opportunity
🌟 2 in 5 say rewards are fair and objective
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗱
😬 1 in 3 see bias their boss won’t admit
😬 2 in 5 sense hidden gender bias or inconsistent rewards
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗴𝗹𝘆
🚨 1 in 10 see clear gender bias
🚨 1 in 10 say rewards go to friends
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗱 & 𝗨𝗴𝗹𝘆:
🔬 Isolated, unnoticed, stressed, hyper-vigilant, lonely, eating alone
🔬 Fake laughs, filtered feedback, a sense of unease around you 24/7. Sleeplessness
🔬 Disconnected from most of the team - relying on an “inner circle” to tell you how "the rest" are really doing
🔬 Regular "desirable" churn of “under-performers,” but no actual performance improvement after they leave
𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 "𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳"?
𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦. But perhaps there's just one piece of insightful feedback "the system" gives you that gets you thinking. Or, you consider yourself to be a good manager, so you pause and reflect as a healthy habit.
💡 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱" 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺
The ego makes it seem all is well, even when it is not. It always protects your "good mood" by finding reasons in the external world why those people are the way they are, and that you're fine.
💥 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
You never hear the real truth.
"truth does not talk to power". Consciously or not, people can't.
Your mindsets operate sub-consciously to prevent you bringing truth fully into your consciousness.
𝘛𝘙𝘠
🧠 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁
Where are you creating exclusion zones, exclusive groups?
Do you stereotype? Do your friends? Are you okay with that?
Where do you prejudge?
Who did you reward? Any biases present?
Who is saying things you agree with?
How often do you change your mind due to others' opinions?
🗣️ 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
Watch your inner voice and speech for these kind of phrases:
🗣️ “I am not <some label>, BUT” or
🗣️ “I have no problem with anyone, except”
