Job satisfaction is important because it helps us have a healthy attitude that permeates all areas of our life. One was to ensure job satisfaction is having an honest conversation about career development with your manager. A good manager is willing to act as a mentor and help foster your career growth.

It’s more aptly called relationship building, and it’s a core skill you should develop to use personally and professionally.
