Ten Questions Ambitious People Should Ask About Their Boss
One of the things that people with highly successful careers often
have in common is a good manager, or a series of good managers. A good
manager will recognise people’s strengths, and help them grow. This is
especially important early in your career, where some quick ‘runs on the board’ can get you noticed and considered for other opportunities.
How
do you recognise the kind of manager who will boost your career? It’s
often easy to recognise the kind of manager who’s no help at all. If
you’re never able to make any decisions, you’re never allowed to try
anything new, and your boss never has a kind word to say to you or about
you, your manager may be killing your career.
