Exploration Questions - We encourage year-round collaboration between leaders and direct reports, with a focus on positive development, and the value that our employees bring to the University of Michigan. For your reference, we have developed several conversation starter questions that can be used to encourage impactful conversations and development. The questions are not a rigid set of required topics. They are meant to spark exploration, planning, alignment and assessment. Please use them as they are most constructive, adjusting them or adding to them as helpful.
