I hold monthly coaching sessions with my direct reports. About once a quarter, I ask them to give me feedback on my leadership. Usually I ask “What can I do to more effectively support you?” and “If you were me, what would you do differently right now?”
The answers are often hard to hear, but usually just what I need to hear. And I most often act on what I hear (not always-I’m not perfect!). It’s not easy to do, but this sort of feedback has been the best development advice I have received. The people I lead are the best judges of my leadership skills-not me, and certainly not my manager.
