How to manage difficult bosses

I felt deeply when I saw this article. Because I have limited capabilities

The former direct leader resigned. I think he is looking for me for everything.

He thinks that he is incapable and extremely selfish. He does not take officers or seriously understand the work of his subordinates at ordinary times,

Unallocate tasks. There are a lot of things he did wrong, which makes me feel totally unable to communicate with such people.

But afterwards, I think it's still true in the article. If you don't say it, he won't know or even

Pretend not to know. Even if you know that you are overburdened, you can install it like this.

1. Communication is necessary no matter whether the communication works or not, regardless of the communication result.

2. Remember that things belong to the boss. Never worry more than the boss.

Work harder (as described in some books), but in the eyes of the boss, you

Not busy enough. You can do more things, especially those that do not understand the technology and do not do specific things.

Lead.

3. Learn how to survive in the workplace. If you are an efficient person, you must slow down your work and adapt to it.

The pace of colleagues around you, even if the leaders are eager to pile up things for you, you will follow your progress,

In fact, things are always not as urgent as the leaders say. How can this problem be solved?

Are you alone?

Remember, you can be dissatisfied only when you leave (the latter leaves ).

Do not show it.) before you leave, remember whether you plan to leave after long.

"Golden principles"-survive.

You are not mistaken. Subordinates can indeed exert influence on the boss in a subtle way to manage the boss.

Only when the boss has a face can you develop. At least, if you manage your job properly, you don't have to leave your job because your boss is so angry.

Don't underestimate this issue. According to a report by galop, about 75% of people leave their jobs because they can't stand the boss.

Dear Anne:Your article (currently) "four reasons for sticking to my position without changing jobs" has aroused my resonance, because my current boss is driving me crazy. I have also received other job invitations, and I can be included in my fixed income pension plan for another 18 months, so I think I should stay here at least before that. Of course, to some extent, this is because I have never waited for such benefits to leave. But the problem is that my boss is a typical representative of the "Peter Principle"-his position is totally different from his ability-his mistakes not only cause losses to the company, it also damages the credibility of the entire team at the top level and among the customers. In addition, he did not have a sense of boundary. He sent me emails or text messages day and night, and asked me over and over the weekend about urgent things. Can you give me some suggestions? -- Person of the Year Dear C:Gallup recently conducted a survey on 1 million of U.S. employees. The results show that 75% of the employees who quit their jobs are unable to stand by their superiors. Shouldn't you be surprised to hear this? This is a pity, said Jay materson, Senior Vice President and Executive mentor of the Boston Career Development Company Keystone Associates, it can solve some of your troubles. She said: "Many people will never communicate honestly about the mistakes made by their superiors. They do not try to improve their relationship with their superiors, but choose to leave. In general, they will repeat the same errors in their next job ." In short, you may need to learn how to manage your boss. Matson said: "To Make Yourself Happier, You can do many things. If you manage your boss properly, he or she will not even feel anything. And you will also get extra points for helping your boss ." She explained that the key is to emphasize what benefits he can get to get what you want. First, let's talk about text messages and emails. According to a survey conducted last month by ruishi Management Consulting Company (Right Management), about 1/3 (36%) of employees said that their superiors were still using emails to blow up their superiors during normal working hours, in addition, 15% complained that they had the same experience on weekends and holidays. People can easily push the cause to technology, and your boss lacks a sense of boundary. This is indeed two reasons-but do you always reply immediately and inadvertently encourage this approach? Matson said: "If you reply immediately after receiving each message, it actually implies, 'I am free. 'So do not do this in the future ." Instead, wait until five or six emails are accumulated in the inbox and then reply to a brief message: "I have seen many questions about XX accounts. Let's solve this problem early tomorrow morning (or Monday morning. I can tell you all the details, and then we can discuss them ." Then, do not reply any more.

Dear Annie:Your column about staying in one's current job (for now) struck a chord with me, because I too am stuck working for a boss who drives me crazy. I 've had a couple of other job offers, but I'm only 18 months away from being vested In this company's defined-benefit pension plan, and -- partly because I never stayed anywhere long enough to get vested before -- I think it wocould be smart to stick around und at least until then. The problem is, I report to someone who is a classic example of the Peter Principle -- he's been promoted beyond his ability -- and he's making mistakes that are costing the company money and starting to damage our whole team's reputation with higher-ups And customers. he also has no sense of boundaries and emails or texts me at all hours of the day and night, and on weekends, over and over again, to ask about things that are not urgent at all. do you have any suggestions for me? -- Counting the hours Dear Counting:You probably won't be surprised to hear that about 75% of people who quit their jobs do so because they can't stand their bosses, according to a recent Gallup poll of more than a million U. s. employees. That's unfortunate, says Jayne Mattson, a senior vice president and executive coach at Boston-based career development firm Keystone Associates, because a little honest communication might go a long way toward fixing at least some of what bugs you. "So Please people don't ever have a candid conversation with their boss about what's wrong, "she notes. "instead of trying to make the relationship better, they just leave -- and, too often, repeat the same mistake in their next job." In short, maybe you need to learn to manage your boss. "There are lots of things you can do to make yourself happier," says Mattson. "If you manage your boss well, he or she won't even realize you're doing it. you'll just get points for being really Helpful. "The key, she explains, is to get what you want by emphasizing how it wowould benefit him. First, let's talk about those incessant texts and emails. about one-third (36%) of employees in a poll last month by consultants Right Management said they work for people who bombard them with emails after regular work hours, and another 15% complained Of the same thing on weekends and vacations. It's easy to blame technology, and your boss's lack of boundaries, since both play a part, for sure -- but are you unwittingly encouraging these intrusions by answering them right away? "If you respond to every message as soon as you receive it, You're Indicating that you're available, "says Mattson." Don't do that ." Instead, wait until five or six of them have piled up in your inbox and then respond with a brief message of your own: "I see you have lots of questions about the Ostrich account. let's meet first thing tomorrow morning (or Monday morning), when I can Give you all the details, and discuss it. "Then stop answering.

Matson suggested: "When you meet, you can tell the other party that you are not always free to reply to his or her information immediately. Your boss may not expect you to reply immediately. Therefore, do not think that you must reply immediately, but find out what he really wants ." One day, you will be pleasantly surprised. Even if you refuse to reply every time he sends a message without a surprise, you can firmly and politely determine the boundaries that your boss has been lacking. Do this right away. Don't be so excited. Matson added: "Many people are enduring it, and then one day it suddenly broke out. However, if you can make calm and strategized conversations on these secondary things, you can build a trust foundation between you and your boss, which is more conducive to solving the truly difficult problems in the future." Another problem: the mistakes that your boss has made to lose money and damage credibility. Matson asked, "Does he know that he has made a mistake? First, we need to make a 'no-assignature' for him, assuming that he does not know the problem ." Your task (if you want to accept it) is to point out the problem, but do not criticize anyone. Matson said: "You can describe these errors from a department or team perspective and ask yourself what you can do to help avoid more errors. Do not blame your boss, but discuss the impact of the boss on the entire team. Of course, we need to express our concerns about the credibility of our superiors. As a leader, continuous mistakes will inevitably affect his reputation. At the same time, we propose to help develop some feasible solutions ." Even if the discussion has no effect, at least you have tried your best. However, it is also possible that your boss recognizes the problem and regards you as his potential "Savior"-which is very beneficial to your career development. Matson said: "If you really take harmony with your boss as the top priority and help him save his face in front of the senior leadership, you may choose to stay here after 18 months, who knows?"

"When you do meet, mention that you aren't always available to reply right away," Mattson suggests. "Your boss may not even until CT you. rather than assuming that an immediate answer is required, clarify what it is he actually wants. "There's always A chance you'll be pleasantly surprised. even if not, by declining to answer every time he pings you, you'll have politely but firmly established the boundaries your boss seems to lack. Do this now, before you get any more ticked off about it, Mattson adds: "So many people suffer in silence for too long and then blow their stack. but if you have these calm, tactful conversations about relatively minor things, it builds a foundation Of trust for when you have to tackle the really tough issues ." One such issue, clearly: those costly and reputation-tarnishing errors your boss has been making. "Does he know he's making these mistakes? "Mattson wonders." Start by giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he's unaware of the problem ." Your mission, shocould you decide to accept it, is to point out what's going on without blaming anyone in particle. "describe the errors in terms of the Department or the team, and ask whether there's anything you can do to help prevent any more mistakes ," Mattson says. "Instead of accusing the boss, make it more about the effect on the whole group. above all, express concern for his reputation, as the leader, if the errors continue, and offer to help develop If this discussion leads nowhere, well, you did what you cowould. it's possible, though, that your boss knows things aren't going well and will react as if you had thrown him a much-needed life preserver -- which cocould be very nice for your own career, Too. "If you really make it a priority to build a good rapport with this boss, and help him save face with higher-ups, who knows, you might even decide to stay beyond the next 18 months, "Mattson says. it's worth a try.
