Communicating My Messages To My Manager

It is all about communication.
In this blog I will be journaling my communication experiences with different audiences using different channels.
On one hand it is how to carry my message to the target audience and, how to be good listener on other hand.

I will start with my manager.

When I come to meet my manager I try to prepare my own agenda to be very focused, I want to send clear messages what is good, what is bad, what I need him to do in order to help me. All in all, my manager wants me to achieve the goals he set for me, so he usually appreciate me if I focus him on action that can help me doing my work.

So here is my usual agenda for regular meeting:

1. What is good
2. What is bad
3. What to improve “who needs to do what to achieve what by when”
4. Team work status
5. Personal asks

I always write summaries during the meeting so when the meeting ends I send it to us both with responsibilities and due dates – easy to follow up and check during next meeting.

So this is my simple recipe for communicating my messages to my manager in clear way using emails we both can follow up.
