Questions to consider for your manager effectiveness survey

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • Does your manager make priorities clear?
  • How useful is the feedback and support you receive?
  • What specific behavior would you like them to continue or change?

How to use the responses

Use observable examples and summarize themes carefully. Treat the results as one source for a development conversation rather than a complete judgment of a manager.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Define the role, review period, and skills or responsibilities the questions cover.
  2. Ask for observable examples alongside ratings. Keep the criteria clear and give the respondent space to explain relevant context or support needs.
  3. Decide who will review the answers and discuss them with the person involved. Use the review to agree practical next steps and a time to revisit progress.

Frequently asked questions

How can manager feedback be constructive?
Ask about specific behaviors and their effect on work. Give people room to explain what a more helpful action would look like.
Can I customize this survey template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
Should a review rely on ratings alone?
No. Ask for examples and consider the role, agreed goals, and circumstances. A rating is a prompt for discussion, not a complete explanation of someone's work.
What should happen after the review form is completed?
Discuss the answers, agree specific development or support actions, and set a follow-up date. Keep decisions and responsibilities clear so the review leads to something useful.
