Develop more productive habits in dealing with your manager. As a
professional in the business world, you care about doing your job
the right way. The quality of your work matters to you, both as a
professional and as a person. The company you work for cares about
making money and your boss is evaluated on that basis. Sometimes
those goals overlap, but the different priorities mean conflict is
inevitable. Take concrete steps to build a relationship with your
manager that helps both sides succeed. Guide your manager to treat
you as a vital member of the team who should be kept as happy and
productive as possible. When your manager insists on a course of
action you don't like, most employees feel they have only two
options: you can swallow your objections, or you can leave. Neither
option gets you what you want, which is for your manager to
consider your interests when making decisions. Challenging your
boss directly is risky, but if you understand what really matters
to your manager, you can build a balanced relationship that works
for both sides. Provide timely "good enough" answers that satisfy
the immediate need of the boss to move forward. Use a productive
solution to the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma to structure your
interactions with management, going along when necessary and
pushing back where appropriate, without threatening the loyalty
relationship. Send the two most important messages to your boss: "I
got this" and "I got your back," to prove your value to the boss
and the organization. Analyze your manager's communication
preferences so you can express your arguments in a way most likely
to be heard and understood. Avoid key traps, like thinking of the
boss as your friend or violating the chain of command
unnecessarily.
