How to Ask for the Feedback You Really Need

Harvard Business Review

When we ask for feedback on our work, we often get poor-quality feedback that’s not useful or that makes us feel attacked or defensive. Part of the reason is in how we’re asking for feedback.

What Really Motivates You at Work?

Harvard Business Review

When we work hard, we generally expect our efforts to be recognized by our employer.

But more often than not, I’m uninspired to write because there are so many global issues to address that it’s overwhelming to decide which is the right one to address next.
