Here's how you can ask your boss for feedback and constructive criticism.

To ask your boss for feedback and constructive criticism, prepare well by reflecting on your performance and identifying areas for improvement. Choose a suitable time to approach your boss, ensuring they are not busy or stressed. Be specific in your request, focusing on particular aspects of your work. Embrace positivity, framing your request in a way that shows your commitment to growth. Listen actively to the feedback, taking notes and asking clarifying questions. Follow up on the feedback, discussing any progress or changes you have made. Consider this process as a valuable opportunity for personal and professional development.

I don't think you need to ask for criticism here, as we will be getting that anyways, but feedback is something you can consider asking, but I suggest you give them some time to compose their thoughts too, to give you a well-rounded, thought about feedback rather than just springing it upon them as a surprise where they are also caught off guard. I hope you get the idea . Good luck .

Ideally, you are having ongoing conversations with your leader on a regular basis. Whether or not that is the case, initiate the meeting with a brief agenda that outlines around three topics or questions on your growth and development that you would like to discuss. Include specific projects or work that you want to review and gain their feedback on.

Embrace curiosity as well. After all, you are seeking out this feedback from your leader and want to improve and grow. Being curious about where and how you can continue to develop, contribute to the current direction of the business, and make a meaningful impact in the organization. Prepare questions in advance to help explore this curiosity.

Based on the feedback received, what might you need to improve and grow? Perhaps it is internal or external training, coaching or mentoring, more collaboration with cross functional team members, technical training, etc. Be sure to understand not only the WHAT, but also the HOW to translate the feedback into how you can grow and develop.

It is also important to follow up with your boss to discuss and reveal your progress, as he or she might not note what you think you have accomplished.

- Schedule a convenient time: Ask your boss for a suitable time to discuss your performance. - Be specific: Mention particular projects or tasks where you seek feedback. - Show openness: Express your willingness to receive constructive criticism. - Ask for detailed feedback: Request specific examples and actionable insights. - Focus on improvement: Emphasize your desire to grow and improve your performance. - Listen actively: Pay attention to your boss's feedback without interrupting. - Clarify if needed: Ask follow-up questions to ensure you understand the feedback. - Thank your boss: Show appreciation for their time and input.

Comme toute rencontre importante surtout sur ce type de sujet, je vous conseil de préparer votre demande de feedbacks en ayant bien conscience des valeurs de l'entreprise et de les définir comme cadre de cet échange pour progresser individuellement et intelligemment dans le cadre de la culture d'entreprise

One way to authentically receive that kind of feedback on a regular basis is to carve out time to discuss only said dynamic—i.e. a discussion related to the fact that you crave constructive feedback and want to grow. If one makes that kind of overture during a specific issue or situation, the issue or situation might dominate. Carve out time to talk about the real "it". The feedback dynamic. Then, when situations arise, the feedback-ecosystem is already established and at your service (presuming your boss leans into the ecosystem).
