Am I supposed to be honest in this situation?

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

  • My view is you don’t have to give a reference if you’re unsure of what to say. Or feel obligated to. Tenants colleagues it’s up to your discretion whether you tell them but you can say you don’t know if you’re sure of what to say. Ultimately they want a positive appraisal if you can’t give that it’s up to you.
