June 12, 2023 The Editorial Board - Teamware Solutions

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!! ��
