Subordinate appraisal: a valuable source of information about managers

Article Abstract:

Subordinate appraisals of managers often are more valid than appraisals by the managers' superiors. In addition, subordinate appraisal programs enhance employee morale and job satisfaction. Although the use of subordinate appraisals has so far been limited, a few companies (such as IBM, Ford and RCA) have been using subordinate appraisals for feedback and as aids when making personnel decisions .According to a recent survey, managerial areas that subordinates are qualified to rate include: leadership, information dissemination, and environment monitoring. Potential problems in subordinate appraisals include lack of subordinate ability or training, management attempts to undermine the subordinate appraisal system, and concerns about repercussions on subordinates. A checklist for an effective subordinate appraisal system is provided.
