229. How to Get Quality Feedback When You're a Manager
When it comes to feedback, most managers focus so much on how to give it to their team, that they completely forget to consider: How can I get quality feedback?And the truth is, the higher you go in your career the harder it is to get good feedback! Your boss will be busier than ever. You will be expected to take responsibility for your own professional development, and have the self-awareness needed to know what to work on.And the more power you have, the more people will want to keep you happy -- and will be less candid with you about your blind spots.In this episode I'll walk you through a few simple steps to make it easier for you to get quality feedback.** After the Episode**Enroll in Communication Strategies for Managers:https://maven.com/kimnicol/communication-strategiesGet private coaching, or support for your team development:https://kimnicol.com/Connect with me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnicol/

227. How Kind People Accidentally Start Micromanaging
Why would a kind person start micromanaging people, even when they care deeply and want to do a good job? It happens more often than you might think!
