Want to Get Ahead at Work? Embrace This Excruciating Task
What's the hardest emotional labor you perform at your job?
For many of us, seeking constant feedback from our managers and peers, and acting on that feedback, is one of the most excruciating tasks we associate with our work.
But why should this be so? A few moments of thought will clarify that soliciting regular performance input can help you boost your potential by quickly highlighting your areas of ability -- and those that need improvement. If you seek to understand how your performance is viewed by others, you can shave off valuable time in your career learning curve. And frank discussions about your positive and negative traits and characteristics can lead to a deeper and more meaningful work relationship with your manager and peers.
