Instead of discontinuing subordinate feedback, Astro Computing can use the results to identify areas where managers can improve their leadership skills and develop their employees. This can also help in providing developmental opportunities for employees. It is important to maintain anonymity to encourage honest feedback. Giving employees greater opportunities to observe the behavior of their managers can also help in providing accurate feedback. Limiting the information gathering by subordinates to short periods may not be enough to accurately evaluate a manager's performance. Therefore, the best option would be to use the results of subordinate feedback for employee development.
