Here's how you can effectively provide feedback to senior partners in a partnership organization.

Providing feedback to senior partners requires a respectful, strategic approach. Ensure feedback is constructive, specific, and supported by examples. Choose a private, appropriate setting and use clear, concise language. Start with positive observations before addressing areas for improvement. Be open to dialogue and collaboratively seek solutions. e.g. "Your leadership in client relations was exemplary, significantly boosting morale and satisfaction". However, Implementing structured communication protocols may enhance our efficiency. I'm open to discussing solutions together.

Best practice when asking for executive time (especially within a partner organization) is to prepare them for the conversation, giving them the chance to provide input in advance. A brief note along the lines of the following will go a long way toward a constructive conversation. “To make good use of your time, I want to focus on your goal of X by telling you about Y. My goal for our conversation is to Z. To support my ideas, I’ll provide you with metrics A and B, but if there are additional items I can prepare, please just let me know”.

Effective feedback to senior partners in a partnership organization should be constructive, respectful, and solution-oriented. Begin by acknowledging their achievements and contributions. Clearly articulate your points with specific examples, focusing on behaviors and outcomes rather than personal attributes. Offer suggestions for improvement and be open to dialogue. Emphasize how changes can benefit the team and organization. Maintain a positive tone throughout, ensuring the feedback is framed as an opportunity for growth rather than criticism. End on a supportive note, reinforcing your commitment to the partnership’s success and your respect for their leadership.

Em fatos nós acreditamos, não é mesmo? Aponte exemplos concretos de projetos ou situações onde o desempenho foi excepcional ou pode ser melhorado.

Ofereça sugestões claras de como o funcionário pode melhorar ou expandir suas habilidades e contribuições. Um referencial teórico também pode auxiliar a dar maior profundidade na conversa.

Exemplo de feedback: Gostaria de reconhecer sua excelente liderança no projeto X, onde você conseguiu coordenar efetivamente a equipe e entregar resultados dentro do prazo. No entanto, notei que em algumas reuniões estratégicas, sua comunicação poderia ser mais direta, especialmente ao apresentar os desafios do projeto aos stakeholders. Sugiro que pratiquemos técnicas de comunicação mais concisas para garantir que todos estejam alinhados. Como posso apoiá-lo nesse desenvolvimento?
