[quote=Anonymous]I’m in a leadership role and we do anonymous surveys for our staff to provide feedback on leaders. I’ve always gotten great feedback before, with some constructive criticism that I definitely take to heart. I feel like I’m a pretty conscientious leader. I’ve worked for some really bad managers and strive to be better than what I had. I understand no leader is perfect and I welcome constructive criticism always, not just in these reviews, but throughout the year.

There’s one employee I’ve struggled with figuring out how to manage. He struggles at a lot of his job (but is really great at one aspect, hence why we’ve kept him around) and his peer reviews from those that work with or under him generally echo my same sentiments. We’ve butted heads some, but nothing really crazy to me. He just doesn’t seem to particularly like being managed by anyone, though I suspect me being a woman may have something to do with his disdain from me based off of some of his commentary about women. But that part is speculation.

We got reviews back and per usual, mine range from good to great. Some thoughtful constructive criticism. All helpful, till I get to the last review that’s absolutely scathing and below the belt. Like completely unprofessional and not truthful, I’ve never seen anything like this in two decades of my professional career. I know it’s him despite it being anonymous, because my name was misspelled in a way that only he misspells it (frequently). Also certain comments could only tie to him. I’m not sure if he just didn’t care about it being anonymous? We are a small company, so it’s not like there were hundreds of responses.

Anyhow, I’m a little at a loss on how to proceed now. If it was direct feedback, that’s one thing, but this is supposed to be anonymous. Any thoughts?
