Here's how you can enhance your marketing performance by proactively seeking feedback from your boss.

"What's one thing I could do differently?" This helps clarify expectations and areas for improvement. And nail it down for the next meeting. "How would you like to receive feedback from me?" This ensures effective communication. "Where do you feel my strengths lie?" This is good for performance reviews to understand your perceived strengths.

No other way though, it's helpful to accept constructive criticism gracefully and view it as an opportunity to grow and improve and March ahead. As long as you resonate with passion and right intent at work and for work things will align. This demonstrates commitment and will to improvement and allows for structured discussions.

Criticism would not be the right word for it. It should be considered a new learning opportunity, whether it is constructive criticism or not. It's about the mindset. In marketing, you conduct experiments and receive instant feedback from consumers. Therefore, one needs to be mentally prepared for all types of criticism from anyone, take it, and improve the outcome.

The best way to embrace criticism involves adopting a growth mindset, which sees feedback as an opportunity for improvement rather than a personal attack. Start by listening actively and without interruption, showing that you value the other person’s perspective. Approach criticism with curiosity, asking clarifying questions to fully understand the points being made. Reflect on the feedback objectively, separating your self-worth from your work or behavior. Express gratitude for the insights provided, acknowledging that constructive criticism is essential for personal and professional development. Implement the feedback thoughtfully, making specific, actionable changes to address the concerns raised.

Proactively seeking feedback from your boss (and your peers, for that matter) can skyrocket your professional career. Think of criticism not as a blow to your ego but as a sculptor’s chisel which you can use to refine your skills. Approach each critique with the intent to understand and improve. Actively listen and take notes to show you value their perspective. Implement the feedback and follow up to demonstrate your commitment to growth. Additionally, request specific examples to gain clarity and actionable steps. This proactive, receptive stance turns criticism into a catalyst for professional development and climbing the ranks. (hint: the folks at the top didn't get there by ignoring opportunities for improving themselves!)

Es muy importante tener algún mecanismo para poder tener trazabilidad sobre el desempeño de los equipos, y como vamos asociando este desempeño a la evolución del feedback. Así puedes evaluar si la forma como estás haciendo feedback tiene un impacto real en el desempeño del equipo.

The best way to receive proactive feedback from your boss on marketing performance is to proactively analyze everything you do and assess hypotheses and outcomes driven. Your boss or manager's job is to help you do your job better — show them first you are doing the most you can do to assess your own marketing performance in your areas of responsibility (AOR). A boss or manager seeing this will allow them to (1) actually be able to help and give feedback with information well-structured (and digestible) and (2) look and feel highly on your growth.
