I have a manager who’s hard to read. No honest feedback, just occasional nods and short emails.
How do you grow in a role when you can’t tell how you're doing?

Do you ask your manager for honest feedbacks?

like

Yeah, it should be a natural thing. Or do you have to ask for it?

My manager has no data knowledge nor expertise on the field. I am able to breakout by showing up. Connect the dots and continue delivering results to stakeholders. Most importantly be the point of contact, cc your manager if you have to. He just there for oversight. You impact will be seen by someone higher up and they will speak for you and those voices will come back.

If your manager doesn't understand what you do, how can they effectively manage you? Where would you go if you needed guidance and support?

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.
