What should I do if I disagree with my manager’s feedback?
If you disagree with feedback, listen actively, ask clarifying questions, and respond respectfully with your perspective.
Disagreeing with a manager’s feedback can be uncomfortable, but handling it professionally can lead to constructive outcomes. Start by listening to their feedback without interruption; this shows respect for their viewpoint and allows you to fully understand their perspective. Ask clarifying questions if anything is unclear, as this demonstrates your willingness to learn and understand. When responding, frame your thoughts respectfully, sharing specific examples or facts that support your viewpoint. Remaining calm and open to dialogue can turn a disagreement into an opportunity for deeper understanding and potential growth, as well as building mutual respect with your manager.
