"How do I ask for feedback from my manager?"
Don't make it weird by being vague. Instead of 'do you have any feedback?', try: 'I'm trying to improve at [specific thing]. From what you've seen, what's one thing I could do differently?' This gives them something concrete to respond to. Schedule it - don't ambush them in the hallway. After a project is a natural time. And when they give you feedback, resist the urge to defend yourself. Just listen, ask clarifying questions, and thank them. Then actually do something with it.
1. Schedule a dedicated time (not casually in passing)
2. Be specific about what you want feedback on
3. Ask open-ended questions like:
- 'What could I have done better on [project]?'
- 'Where do you see room for growth?'
- 'What skills should I develop?'
4. Listen without being defensive
5. Take notes and follow up on their suggestions
6. Thank them and show you're implementing their advice
'Got a sec for some feedback?' will get you nowhere. Try: 'I want to level up at [skill]. Can we grab 15 minutes this week so you can tell me where I'm strong and where I'm kidding myself?' Specific, humble, actionable. Managers actually love this because most people never ask.
Schedule a meeting and be direct. Ask specific questions about your work and areas for improvement. Listen to their response without interrupting. Thank them and follow up on their suggestions.
