Managers are at odds over an employee's evaluation. How do you navigate conflicting perspectives?
When managers disagree on an employee's performance evaluation, it can create a complex situation that requires careful navigation. You might find yourself in the middle of conflicting perspectives, each with its own set of justifications. As a manager, your role isn't just to evaluate performance but also to mediate and align differing viewpoints. This delicate task involves understanding the reasons behind each perspective, promoting open communication, and ultimately reaching a consensus that reflects a fair assessment of the employee's contributions and areas for improvement.
