How to Communicate with Your Boss
By

Relationships with bosses could become complicated. Many employees worry that they don’t know their bosses’ expectations. They fear that they fail to understand the feelings and emotions of their supervisors and that can affect job satisfaction dramatically. The pandemic hasn’t make it any easier either. Employees are more and more asked to connect to their managers online and it increases the complexity. Many are surprised that their bosses remain silent after they see the messages. They don’t even say why they are not responding. What can you do to communicate better with your boss?

A wise strategy is to constantly acknowledge your boss’s authority. Give them the feeling you understand who’s in charge and who has larger responsibility. Besides, it’s very useful to make your suggestions and answers succinct. When you ask a question, look directly into your boss’s eyes, smile politely and stay silent until you get your answer. If you want to convince her over something, be assertive and professional. Give them the necessary data and explain how the company will benefit from your idea. Never speak about your personal advantages in these situations.
