Hub You - Asking for Feedback - Improving Your Performance at Work
There are several marketing strategies businesses can use today. Online marketing, television commercials, and radio plug-ins are some of the popular methods. Banners and flyers are still used to advertise sales and other promos. But these advertising strategies don't really give prospective consumers something. If anything, the flyers usually end up in the trash and the TV gets switched off. Nobody bothers with online ads for fear of viruses. If you're a business owner looking for a quick advertising fix, logo fitted hats, hats with embroidery, and marketing hats are good choi
A successful IT consulting business should be focused on selling your consulting services and not selling products. At this stage of the game of starting an IT consulting business, you should not be looking to be a dealer for someone or an authorized solution for someone.You can get those things if you think it will help your business a little bit, but don’t build your IT consulting business around that. It’s not a product driven economy anymore. It's about the services. It's about the solution.If you align yourself with someone and say "Hey I am this dealer."
This can be a very intimidating task for a lot of people. It's never easy hearing criticism, and this is what many people fear. However, the only way to improve yourself and subsequently your career advancement is to get this kind of feedback and improve upon it. Let's break this down into two parts: getting feedback from your supervisor and getting feedback from your team.
Supervisor Feedback
Getting feedback from your supervisor: Daunting? Absolutely. Impossible? Absolutely not. While it may seem scary at first, not only is it necessary as they will be writing your review in most cases, but they will actually appreciate the fact that you are looking for ways you can improve your performance.
How do you approach them? This is relatively simple as well. All you really have to do is ask. I would do this in person as opposed to over email, because you can make it more of a fluid question and answer session. Once they agree to provide you with some feedback, set up a meeting time and reserve a private room. This is not something that you should do at your cubicle or theirs, as you want honest, unedited feedback (read: not censored for everybody around you). Send a meeting invite if possible so that it appears on their calendar, mainly because if they are very busy you don't want it to slip their mind (
Introduction to Document ManagementIf you've never used a document management system, then it is entirely possible that you aren't aware of how valuable these products can be. Companies and individuals who manage a diverse array of documents have found that document management systems serve to simplify their lives and make both storing documents and later obtaining those documents much easier.Many companies are forced to go the way of electronic documents because of The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, industry compliance (HIPPA), or because it is required by their cus

Having worked for several prominent retail organizations I have seen the impact of both positive and negative cultures on the workforce, the customers and, of course, the success of the business. Have no doubt whatsoever, the head of the organization dictates, through words and actions, what the culture will be. I want to tell you about the incredible culture created by a CEO, and a gentleman, I’ll call Sam.For three years, I had the opportunity to work for the company that this man headed up before he decided to sell his successful enterprise to a large, old school ret

I always knew lemon scent reminded me of something and I am not thinking about lemon :) There is much deeper understanding in scents (and flavors)– they take back to the past and dig deep into your brain. Remember Marcel Proust ritual consumption of tea and biscuits?It is just too bad (?) we can't smell though screen ;)Researches say smells can affect a shopper's behavior. For this reason they have made significant strides in analyzing how consumers respond to scents. Melon draws nearly universal feeling of friendliness, youthfulness and happiness; Americans think

The letter of intent is an essential step in facilitating the sale of a business. The purpose is to establish the economic framework for buyer and business seller to move to the due diligence phase. It basically says that with all the available information I have thus far seen and if that all stands the scrutiny of due diligence, I am willing to buy your business for X dollars under Y payment terms. It is however, non- binding pending the execution of mutually acceptable purchase agreements.If I am a seller, I am going to insist that I have this letter establishing the e
Now that the meeting is setup, you need to prepare for it. I would brainstorm for any specific questions you have about areas where you think you might not be performing as well as you could be. Conversely, if you think you are performing at a high level in a certain area, you might want to ask their opinion. Write these down as bullet points to bring up during the meeting.
At the meeting, be sure to write down any improvements that they suggest. If you don't agree with something, discuss it with them as there is no better time to do it. Keep the tone of the meeting professional. It is extremely important to remember that this is constructive criticism, not a personal attack on you. Taking this personally will not only stop you from improving in the suggested areas, but probably drop your performance in other areas as well. Also, make sure to ask how you can improve in some of these areas. It does you no good if you know where you need to improve but have no idea how to do it.
Team Feedback
This might seem even more daunting than getting feedback from your supervisor. With your supervisor, at least they are above you on the food chain so criticism is a little easier to swallow. With those you manage, this can be difficult. However, it is very necessary because how your team performs reflects on you, and if you can improve their performance in any way you want to do it.
It is a good idea to setup team meetings every
