It's a first for me too but haven't found it as difficult. I suggested in the beginning setting up 15 min a week if the schedule allowed it to chat about needs for the week, see how things are going, and general updates. I've found I have a much better relationship with the execs I've done that with. As far as pros and cons go, a pro is that if I have a difficult exec, my manager is willing to step in if necessary. My manager is also a huge advocate of moving to different areas and growing if I want it. Cons, probably not as much face time if I'm not actively pursuing it, especially if there are less reasons to speak.
The con is what concerns me the most. Thanks for sharing your perspective
ive never reported to my executives, ive always had an admin manager. i think it also depends if the executive wants to "bond" with you. sometimes there are some that just dont and it's very transactional.
Interesting! I'm glad it's working well for you. 🩵
