Hi Deb. Thanks for your question. I would simply tell your manager how much you value their feedback and advice and that it really helps in the work you do. Also, you could consider (if it's not already in play) to ask for a weekly or fortnightly check-in meeting. Only needs to be a short meeting but might also be useful in the process. Ray
Yes, very true. However, some might not be equally ready for constructive feedback! We are not all the same. And we do change. I recall timees in my earlier life when constructive feedback, given to me by well-meaning colleagues felt like a wound! The key seems to be sowing the seed without dumping too much manure. How can we know? Three keys: Listen Listen Listen.
Thank You for this article.
Very on point to me.
I work 19 hrs in Office 19 hrs remote.
I have minimal contact with My Manager & truly appreciate his opinions.
I often doubt my abilities & contribution. When away from the office alone.
Any feedback from My Manager is very welcome.
Is there any suggestion on how to ask for more?
