How to be managed
Take responsibility for your experiences at work, and don't rely on your manager to set the entire tone for your relationship.
- Know yourself → Figure out what you want to do and learn, and what will make you happy.
- Go after what you want → Prepare for 1-1s, ask to work on projects, ask for feedback etc.
- Understand their role → Their job is to do the best thing for the company and the team, not to make you happy all the time.
- Own your problems → When you have a problem, ask for advice on how to tackle it instead of demanding that your manager solve it for you.
