Hot take but as a leader there is actually very little you can do to act on employee feedback.

funny

It's so hard to balance feedback with other priorities. One thing that’s helped me is tackling quick changes first so people see movement, even if bigger changes take time. Also, looping in a small team to own different pieces of feedback keeps it from all landing on me. Have you tried prioritizing just 1-2 key themes each cycle?

Totally feel this. Wanting to act on feedback but being buried in other priorities is so real. I try to pick one small thing to tackle each quarter so it stays manageable.

If everything’s a fire, then nothing‘s a fire. I understand that they are going to be things that take precedence over working on feedback, but per everybody’s reply you must work on feedback. Pick a half a day two days out of your month four hours each and follow up on that put it on your calendar and it will get done. If you work from home a day a week or a few days a month make those the things that you work on from home, so you have no other distractions.

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
