As soon as you assume a role as a senior executive, you’ve undoubtedly acquired a set of skills and proficiencies that makes it possible for you to be efficient in your new job. To help you get to this position, you somehow had mentors and coaches who very much monitored your progress, pushed you to develop your talents, and, when necessary, they confronted you with constructive feedback that you may not have wanted to hear but needed to in order to persist on your upward course.

 

At this level in one's profession, most of your former colleagues are probably subordinates. Even as you may well be “overseen” by your senior boss or  the board of directors, your top level executives most likely no longer directly observe your daily activities. But instead, they’re now forming their opinions based on your presentations in comparatively official settings or on hand-me-down reports coming from your subordinates.

 
As a result, many heads realize that as they grow to be more senior, they get significantly less coaching and happen to be more vague in relation to their developmental needs and performance. They also become more and more isolated from positive criticism—junior staff don’t want to affront their boss and often believe that positive suggestions are unwanted and imprudent. At this level of their careers, they don’t really focus adequately on building mutually honest subordinate relationships – very critical in getting feedback and making recommendation a lot easier.
 

Too often though, when these senior managers eventually do get feedback in their end-year evaluations (normally the 360-degree-feedback plan) they’re shocked to be faced up with specific criticisms in relation to their leadership style, interpersonal skills and communication approach. Worse still, wide concerns are often raised about their key tactical decisions, strategy, and working priorities for the company.

 

The main objective of this editorial is to extract these approaches into a detailed and actionable recommendation. In doing so, we anticipate more awareness of the inclination to become isolated and advice approaches to our executives in getting better feedback, mostly from junior staff, which will help bosses materially develop their performance levels. We will also argue more steps top obtain considerably better strategic guidance regarding your business or organization. By considering these actions, you ought to be able to acquire better ownership of the recommendation process and advance your ability to put together your organization, capabilities, and occupation.

Welcome,

I am sure everyone is wondering about what U Recommend ME is? 

U Recommend Me is a very powerful site where you can give and receive in depth, meaningful and honest recommendations.  We all know that recommendations are a very key part of anyone's professional and personal portfolio.  However, unless a recommendation provides real meaning and candid feedback most people don't consider it valuable!

A recommendation should provide information about a person's traits both personality and professional.  In our discussions with the hiring managers, university admissions offices and many professional organizations, one thing that gets repeated over and over is that the recommendation does not provide enough data into a person's core characteristics to be considered valuable.  Thus more and more places are asking for detailed   recommendations from previous managers and professional contacts.  This creates a major challenge for recommendation providers as it takes valuable time to write the recommendations and often to do it multiple times What is more challenging is that recommendations are requested when quite a bit of time has elapsed between the two people and the recommendation provider feels a bit hesitant in providing an honest and real feedback. Instead, most often the recommendation contains generic and general content which lacks the depth and candor that a meaningful recommendation should have.     

We believe that it is time that this problem gets solved.  We have spearheaded the development of a solution where anyone can provide and receive recommendations that provide in-depth view into someone's characteristics. We also believe that the recommendations providers should be allowed to give recommendation that are honest even if they are not 100% glowing as in reality most admissions officers and employers are really looking for honest and detailed feedback on a potential candidate. We also believe that a recommendation receiver should be able to request a blind recommendation so that they know they are receiving candid feedback from those that know their candidate. Similarly recommendation givers should be able to keep a recommendation blind if they so choose and keep the person receiving the recommendation from viewing it so that they feel at ease in giving candid feedback our system allows for recommendations that are marked hidden by the recommendation provider to not be seen by the receiver. 
 
We are very excited and proud to be launching a true recommendation management system that is first of its kind to bring the power of recommendation gathering, management and sharing with controls built-in to empower the users to interact in highly professional and meaningful way.

We would like to hear your feedback and comments as you use our system.
