Am I supposed to be honest in this situation?

BeaE

My manager has had a promotion, and is going through some leadership type training. She's asked me to fill out a questionnaire, and I don't know if I'm actually meant to be honest. It says you should be honest, but that is normally just something people say.

I know I have to be at least a bit filtered, as she will see the feedback and it's not anonymous.

It's questions like: 

Where do they make things harder than they need to be?

What is one thing they should stop doing or change to strengthen leadership?

Etc. etc. 

I have no idea what is acceptable to say. Does anyone have any idea?

You're also welcome just to respond with frustration about people saying they want honesty, when they actually don't Joy

  • I don't think it's right to ask people to fill in something like that without anonymity. As you say, they put be honest but once people are honest they get offended and say it's rude.

    I think I'd stick with practical stuff rather than anything that could be taken too personally. 

    I don't know whether you are someone that likes AI but this is the kind of situation where I find it very useful. I put in what I want to say and then ask it to make it professional and not something that could be taken personally or as rude. It tends to do a good job I've found.
