Seeking Performance Feedback

 

It is important to understand that seeking performance feedback is very important for your

career. But what are the benefits and tips you may wonder! Let’s see below:

Benefits of consistently seeking feedback: !
1. More accurate perception of how others understand you
2. You are perceived as being more creative, open, and caring

Remain open to critical feedback!
Seeking affirmation can backfire: it diminishes the perception of your
effectiveness

Now let’s see how to seek feedback
 “How am I doing?” !
 “What can I do to improve?”!
 “What can I do to improve in communicating the status of my projects to team leaders?”

Once you ask for the feedback then do not forget to do the following:
 Seek feedback from them on a particular dimension of your leadership / skillset (e.g., working with
teams, public speaking skills, motivating others, troubleshoot technical issues etc.)
 In a 1-2 page document, summarize the feedback you have received and outline the action plan for
the identified developmental opportunities

This would give you a chance to focus on your strengths and improve on your drawbacks if any and clear
the perception about yourself validating with your peers/managers.

Happy FEEDBACK!! ��
