π When I was a new manager I thought my manager has to see me like I have everything under control.
π If I go to my manager asking for help thatβs a failure because I am going to come across as if I am not capable of handling my job.
π« I was wrong!
πββοΈ I realized a lot later in my career that I can make the fastest progress if I can be open about my struggles and ask for help.
π€ Treat your manager like your thought partner. Collaborate with them on figuring out a solution.
π This doesnβt mean you should take each and every problem to your manager. They hired you for a reason.
β Just know that itβs ok to use your manager as a sounding board and solve few problems collaboratively.
