Feedback

 

Had a great feedback session today with my favorite boss ever so far. Here were some of the highlights:

• I did a great job in the past 6 months, and improved on the areas we spoke about (communication and focusing/prioritization)
The things we spoke about last time, I implemented very well (Top three, circles of prioritization)
• We spoke about my plans regarding PPC and CPC, we have a meeting tomorrow with CFO to discuss. I said I feel like this half year was full of challenges and big projects at the beginning, but after I wasn’t feeling very challenged, and so I think I do want to take over CPC/PPC campaigns moving forward, even if that is at a cost of being on this team. Basically, if I do that for 6 months, I will have much bigger impact on the company than continuing doing what I am doing. Will see where that goes. 
• He loves having me on the team, and loves the vibes I give off for the team
• He learns from me all the time, whether about the thoroughness, my actual professional job, or being a manager. 
• He appreciates how motivated and thorough I am
• I am very professional, not just for my age but especially considering my age
• He is very proud of my accomplishments so far.
• He appreciates how much I am willing to help others even if its not exactly in my realm. 
• Three of my best values are execution, self criticism, and being a team player. He also likes how independent I work, he knows he can give me things to run with

• I am always happy to get feedback
• He didn’t have any things to give me that I need to work on, but when pushed he said I am the person people go to about some things, but I should strive to be the person people go to to find things out and understand them better.  
• I gave him feedback by telling him he is the best boss I ever had, whether that’s pushing me forward, flexibility, knowledge from someone I can learn from, and a true friend. 

I agreed with all of these points, and its funny to think about where they each came from. Some is from the Torah I got to learn in Kiryat Shmona, some is from uncle Zak at 1touch, some is how I was raised by my parents, some is from waking up at 6 to go work at the makolet, some is from national team baseball, and some is things I've seen online and figured out. And the funny thing is, a bunch is from the people I've managed.
