Hannah is struggling to communicate with her manager of 8 months and recently received negative feedback in a performance review. She is confused and unsure of how to improve the situation.

How can I build a trusting relationship with my manager?

AND

Should I go to HER manager for help with the situation?

1)      Remove tension in the relationship by working on the negative feedback provided. Check in with your manager for input on how things are progressing. If your manager is struggling to provide specifics, use a scale and ask what it would take to get to a 10.

2)      Set clear objectives and encourage discussion. Meet every 2 weeks to discuss priorities and to get the manager’s input.  

3)      Develop advocates in other departments.
