Formal evaluation to big bosses can prevent power tripping. Agree?

It will be my first time to make a formal evaluation to our big bosses. This is conducted by our new Human Resources Department. They guaranteed that those evaluators will be concealed and will remained as confidential. I'm used to evaluate those rank and file people. But now we are doing the other way around. I admit, some of the big bosses like shouting at your face, kicking doors they just don't like you ,they love the word "power trip" very much. Will I take the vengeance? I think, I should be honest here. I will do my best to be more objective in my evaluation as much possible. Because it is not only for our company's stake. It is also everybody's future. I'm just doing my a good thing for my own company. Can you relate with this kind of setting? Please share. Thanks

I think you should be nice in how you write the evaluation as you would for any one else... but I also think that you should be honest in the evaluation. They may be a "big boss" but they still have a job to do and rules to follow just like everyone else. There are big bosses at the job I work at too that take their rank too far. I even hear them say "I hate to pull rank but..." Really? If people respect you in your position you should not have to even think about saying that phrase

You are right Lauraleigh99. We should practice what we preach. Respect begets respect. Hope everything turns out to be what we deserve. Thanks

I think you should tell the truth about your superior, especially if they are being like that, power tripping and acting up. It is absolutely inexcusable what your superior is doing if he is power tripping. There is no excuse for anyone to shout at someone, or kick doors. If your boss has to do something like that, then he obviously is not doing his job. There are a lot more appropriate people to put in that position, maybe even you. Of course, the main goal is to be objective, but you must also report these kinds of attitudes and behavior especially since this is not pleasant and it is not a way of dealing with people. Your boss has to remember that although he may have been placed in that position, it is his duty to make sure that your work environment is pleasant in order for you to function properly. I have been a manager for three years, and I still although my position says that I am higher than my agents, I still believe that I am liable for what my agents do, and I am supposed to do whatever will make them happy in their job. Sounds like something a lower person would be doing, but I owe it to my agents to make their work place as pleasant as it could be for them.

Thanks apoljuice1. I agree with you. I know that this is the right time to hear the voices of people under them. Yes, objective is the word. Hopefully, through this, we may be able to transform our company, though gradually, for the better. There's a lot of blooming companies nowadays, we lose some accounts to them, others we may secure. Those bosses should shape up for them to focus in getting those nice accounts.
