Evaluation surveys, starting with manager effectiveness

A free manager effectiveness survey template: teams rate how their manager supports them one behaviour at a time, with a follow-up for every low score.

The Manager effectiveness survey asks about specific behaviours, like giving clear priorities or useful feedback, instead of a single overall grade. That makes the results easier to turn into a development plan. Send it to the whole team at once and share the summary with the manager, not individual answers.

Frequently asked questions

What questions measure manager effectiveness?

Questions about specific, observable behaviours: setting clear goals, giving feedback, removing blockers and recognising good work. Each is easier to rate honestly than a general question about the manager.

How often should teams evaluate their manager?

Once or twice a year works for most teams, with enough time between rounds for the manager to act on what they heard.

Can I adapt this for another kind of evaluation?

Yes. Copy the template and rewrite the behaviours for the role you are evaluating, such as a team lead or a project sponsor.
