Ask for feedback on yourself

You ask "Any feedback for me?" and hear "No, all good." That is not information. Criticising your boss is risky, and a broad question is almost impossible to answer on the spot — so people say the safe thing and you learn nothing.

This lesson is for new managers who genuinely want to know how they are doing and keep getting nothing back. It covers why open questions fail, how to make the question small enough that answering it feels safe, and what you must do with the first honest answer if you ever want a second one. You get a specific question to ask this week, and the reaction that quietly shuts people up for good.
