PERFIL PSICOLABORAL

Entre sus debilidades, podría mejorar la retroalimentación del desempeño de sus colaboradores lo que denota un control centrado en objetivos.

----------------
Estos temas me son muy familiares, pero la redacción y la falta de puntuación me hacen pensar que no estoy entendiendo bien. ¿Qué hay de malo con el control basado en objetivos?

Gracias :(

goal-oriented oversight
Explanation:
I' reading it to mean that providing more feedback would show that the employee is ensuring that the team keeps its eye on established goals.

It's not perfectly logical, however, because feedback is not always focused on goals.

objectives based management


Explanation:
Quite right. Poorly worded.

Could be paraphrased as follows:

Providing sufficient feedback is desirable as it signifies "objectives based management". The subject here doesn't provide enough feedback which is therefore a weakness.

I.e It's his failure to offer feedback which is the weakness.
