The LBA process is mandatory for all people managers.
Managers have the entire month of September to send out their LBA requests.
This cycle includes updates: self and line manager feedback will now be automatically included in every request. Three open-ended questions have been added to support clearer feedback and generate more actionable insights for leadership development.
We encourage everyone who receives an LBA request to respond. Your feedback plays a vital role in helping managers understand how their leadership is experienced and where they can grow.
