Boss is one such person who observes your professional behaviour and keeps a record of your work. If you are someone who has an ambitious set of mind and not doing your job just for the sake of doing, you need to talk to your boss often.
A set of genuine questions about your career will help you understand your self-image at the workplace.
Moreover, the opinion of your boss shall matter more as he/she is the person who communicates your performance to the management.
As such, knowing their thoughts on you helps you constantly analyse and self-improve.
Here are 5 important questions you should be asking your boss for the scope of improvement:
1. Could you please point me my strengths and weakness while at work? Could you suggest some measures to work on my lows?
2. Do you think if I can assist you with some of your work? Shall it be helpful?
3. Can you teach me something about good leadership?
4. What’s the mantra of success? Is it a combination of factors you think or a single element that decides the success parameter?
5. What kind of behaviour you would never expect in the employee reporting to you?
Happy Asking!
