hey guys Serg here and today we're gonna be talking about three tips to get the
most out of your line manager hey guys ECR g here back with another video
wanted to talk to you guys about some tips you can use to get the most out of
your line manager now your line manager is a coach a mentor a motivator somebody
who has your back also someone who's gonna discipline you when you do
something wrong so there are all of those things to you and they're very
important in the growth of your career especially in clinical research so the
first tip I have for you in order to get the most out of them is to talk about
where you're headed going forward in the field that you're in and I'm
specifically talking about clinical research here today so if you want to be
a CRA or project manager and you are a currently a CT a clinical trial
assistant talk to your line manager frequently about what do you need to do
in order to be a CRA or what do you need to do about to be a project manager and
they can help steer you in the direction so you want to ask your manager about
potentially like shadowing a CRA or shadowing a project manager and being
able to learn from them now so you have experience where you go and apply for
that job in the next couple years or so your manager your line manager will be
able to help facilitate your growth and development towards towards you becoming
at the next level that CRA or project manager and they're gonna be really good
and they're gonna be there for you to offer backup and support whenever people
come calling about who's ready to move to the next level your line manager is
gonna be there to go to bat for you in that situation so that's the first thing
you need to talk to your line manager about where you want to be and where
you're headed the second tip is ask your line manager
to teach you tasks and responsibilities that you don't know and that you're
curious about or that are that your line manager might know about because she's
at that next level or not so your line manager is a coach a mentor and a
teacher don't forget that so those line managers that just call
you for 10 minutes and then just talk to you about you know how your week has
been blah blah blah blah blah and then they just basically check off the box
that they checked in with you every other week and you and your 101 that's
not an effective line manager a line manager supposed to teach you and help
usher you into the next level and keep you growing and growing and challenge
you to become the best that you can be so you need to ask your manager to teach
you tasks and responsibilities that you want to learn specifically to take you
to the next level or to help you get better at your current job now your line
manager is most likely someone who's already at that next level or a couple
levels above you so they should be more than happy to teach you about these
things to make you better that's why they
that's why they rely mandrew in the first place so ask your line manager to
teach you these things so you can become better then the third one is more of a
defensive position to take care and that is you want to communicate with your
line manager openly now we all know that communication is key we talk about that
for relationships friendships business you name it communication is key but
specifically with your line manager they are there to back you up whenever
something bad happened or even when something good happens in the company
but specifically for this example when something bad happens they're gonna come
to your line manager and ask what's going on what's going on with you and
you want your line manager to be able to stand toe-to-toe with anybody who's
coming for you to go to back you up and defend you in the best possible way so
the best way to have to have this happen is to communicate openly with your line
manager make sure that your line manager knows what's going on a little bit in
your life make sure your line manager knows what's hard for you and your job
what you're good at and your job just communicate openly let your
line manager know as we talked earlier about about where you're headed in the
company or what interests you specifically so they can help you out so
communication is key we all know that especially in business and especially in
the fickle work environment where one day you're on good terms and next day
you might have messed up or something and you're not good terms so you in
order to defend against that you really want to keep the line of communication
open and communication is best when both parties are able to communicate freely
and openly and it is through this communication where you will be able to
learn more from them learn more about the responsibilities learn how to do
your job better as well so it the communication openly will help the other
two tips I had for you as well so that's it just to summarize first first tip is
to talk about where you're headed with your line manager second is a skew line
manager to teach you tasks and responsibilities you don't already know
or are curious about and third one is to make sure that you communicate openly
