Seek a mentor ask that leader you respect to be your mentor or use your network to help match you. Your mentor should not be your direct leader and ideally someone in a role, level, or team you may be interested in joining. Conversations should be development focused and someone you can rely on to provide advice and support as your navigate your career. Schedule time with them monthly and be planful with your time.
360 feedback 360 feedback is the act of gaining feedback from your leaders, team, and partners. Ask your leader to help you gather anonymous feedback on your performance and apply this feedback as you progress as a leader.
