9 Questions Great Bosses Ask Themselves
<p>How do you get better as a manager? You can use feedback from your manager, inputs from your team, and outcomes you achieve as a measure of your performance, but by themselves, they do not help you get better.</p>
<p>Without a system in place to measure yourself and actively monitor how you’re doing, you cannot determine areas that need your attention and the steps you must take to improve.</p>
<p>Every day, multiple things vie for your attention, and you make hundreds of decisions, some good and some bad. Some consciously and others subconsciously.</p>
<p><em>Do you take time to analyze your decisions?</em></p>
<p><em>Are you aware of what gets your attention?</em></p>
<p><em>With so much feedback around you (both direct and indirect), how do you separate signal from noise?</em></p>
<p>I see two problems why most managers are not able to improve:</p>
<ol>
<li>Unable to ask yourself the right questions</li>
<li>Lacking <a href="https://www.techtello.com/confident-humility-in-leadership/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">humility</a> to be truthful</li>
</ol>
<p>You aren’t asking the right questions if those questions don’t make you uncomfortable. Avoiding tough questions keeps you within your comfort zone, but your growth is often one step outside it.</p>
<p>Humility to speak the truth and stay honest is another hard thing. Blaming someone or something else helps you avoid the reality of how you’re doing. Without the willingness to acknowledge your imperfections and accept you’re a work in progress, you can never improve. Your truth is often a version of your story, a story that suits you and makes you feel good. Humility requires questioning it.</p>
