@coffeewithsimon: 💻How to give work updates your manager actually cares about! Welcome to episode 5 of my Quiet Influence at Work Series! Don’t underestimate work updates. They’re not just a formality — they’re leverage. Every update either deflates you or elevates you as someone who drives outcomes, spots risks, and thinks ahead. Do them right, and you’re not just sharing progress — you’re building a reputation your manager can’t ignore. In this video, I’ll share the 4 types of updates I use every week to: ✔️ Prove results, not just effort ✔️ Flag risks before they become problems ✔️ Align priorities with my manager’s goals ✔️ Show I can think like a leader Visit the link in my bio and I’ll send all the tips straight to your inbox — plus give you access to my weekly newsletter. 💙 Give this a heart if you’ve ever felt unsure what to say in an update. 👤 Follow me for more quietly powerful career tips.
Nope. If I have a deadline then I trust those in my team to reach it. I don't want endless emails telling me they're on track. thats just performance theatre dressed up as productivity. but whatever works I guess.

As a boss, I am getting crazy when I read this kind of emails. I know-how works, who is not. They don’t need to wastemy time reminding me about their successes. Waste of my time.Are you really MS specialist ??

You should agree with your boss what style of communication and engagement they like. Not all bosses expect the same thing or like the same communication style. Assuming one is the worse thing you can do. Some people will get annoyed with all these updates.

Ugh this is exhausting. Like why do I need to update you that I’m doing my job? Red flags- yes. But that I did what I was suppose to on top of managing clients (as a AM at a marketing agency)- this makes me cringe. 😭

Merit mentality. Doesn't work. You'll be promoted when you're a safe play for the people who's work life you could potentially complicate.

Can’t fix outlook search bar, don’t have AI to do all your excel or PowerPoint work but can give advise that doesn’t apply to 90% of workplaces. Progress updates are for the 1-2-1 meetings, not for spamming your managers inbox. P.s. fix outlook search bar

Most leaders I work with (company size similar to microsoft) do not like a constant stream of updates. It creates fatigue and important messages are lost in the millions of updates. If your boss needs a million updates to evaluate your performance , he/she is not doing a good job in reading people

I know some managers who would love these and some who wouldn’t lol. I think it may be good to ask your manager if they’re going to read these types of things or how often they’d like these?
