#YourCareer : 9 Questions To Ask Your Boss In An End-Of-Year Review. So, What Questions do You Ask? or Do You? MUSt REad!
If you find end-of-year reviews stressful, you’re not alone. However, like all other interactions with your boss, it can be a time to show your interest and shine. Asking thoughtful and strategic questions demonstrates engagement, commitment, and desire for growth. So, if you want to keep up the good work into 2024, here are nine questions to ask in an end-of-year review:
What were our team’s most significant accomplishments?
You probably already have an idea of your team’s biggest accomplishments, but a question like this helps make sure your values are aligned with your boss, and that you have a clear sense of your bosses’ goals.
Where can I improve?
In all likelihood, your boss will tell you this. But in the event that they don’t, or if they only have positive feedback, it’s always good to ask. Not only does it show that you want to improve, it offers a chance to get there.
Where have I excelled?
This question goes beyond making you feel good (though it does that, too!). If you get a sense of where you excelled, you’ll begin to better understand your strengths.

What new opportunities are there for success?
It’s always good to indicate an interest in growing. If you know what opportunities may arise in 2024, you’ll have a better sense of how to develop your skillset to fit them.
What are the biggest challenges for 2024?
This lets your boss know you’re on the same team, and in it together.
What steps can I take to advance to the next stage of my career?
Clear directives are always useful. Whether your boss suggests volunteering for more projects, getting certified in something outside or work, or mingling more with other teams, getting feedback on how to excel is critical.
What projects would be a good fit for me?
If your boss gives you exact projects, you not only know who to get in touch with, but you also have something to look forward to. Besides, you’ll get some insight into where the company is heading, which is always helpful.
How can I improve my communication?
Communication is so often over-looked. Your boss’ advice may be as specific as getting into more Slack channels, or it might be more general, like thinking carefully about the tone of emails. No matter what, though, checking in on communication is a great idea.
How can I improve team culture?
Just one more indication that you’re committed to the team. Besides, a positive team culture benefits absolutely everyone.
These questions show your commitment to personal and professional growth, your interest in the success of the team, and your willingness to align your efforts with the company’s goals. And remember—the end-of-year review is nerve-wracking, but it’s intended to help you.
