Here's how you can navigate your boss's priorities and workload in HR Consulting.

In my experience, a way of connecting effectively with your boss, is to understand your boss's priorities with each case or client.Get involved with the client so you can understand what breaktrhoughs are you and your boss expected to achieve. This will be a way to connect in a new level of understanding. Since, your boss is also trying to achieve something for each client.

Es cierto que a veces es más fácil culpar a otros, pero todos nos equivocamos. Como consultor de RRHH, reconozco que un error no es un fracaso, sino una oportunidad de crecimiento. Es como cuando un ni?o se cae mientras aprende a andar en bicicleta. En lugar de retarlo, lo mejor es animarlo a levantarse y seguir intentándolo. En mi trabajo, la confianza es fundamental. Mis clientes y colegas necesitan saber que soy transparente y que estoy dispuesto a aprender de mis errores.

When working as an HR , you need to carefully balance understanding your boss's needs and managing your work so you can deliver effectively. Now, see how you can strike a balance: Stay in the know Regularly check in with your boss to understand the projects and deadlines Proactively Communicate: In case you are not sure about the priorities set by your boss, do not shy away.Open communication helps to avoid misunderstandings and helps know if you are working on the right task. Manage Your Time Effectively: Schedule your work priorities according to which ones are most urgent and important, to keep on track and meet your boss's deadlines. Delegate and collaborate: Find tasks that can be passed on to other team members or collaborators.

It is essential to set boundaries understanding the ways of working and having a time agenda within both of you, otherwise you might sacrifice your and your boss's time unnecessarily. To be more clear, set some touching points whenever you have a specific task, so you can quickly know if you are on a good route on your task or you have any disruption or new information. That way you solve it quick before you are too long deep in your work and your delivery date is next to come, so you might want to make quick reviews with your boss, that will save enormous time and misunderstandings for both, before you deliver to your client. Be clear in your doubts and keep it no more than 30 minutes that could save you hours of inefective work.

La matrice Eisenhower est effectivement un super outil mais il faut une rigueur assez importante et de la discipline pour l'alimenter et la faire vivre. L'urgent est relatif au delai au temps. L'importance est lié à la valeur de la tache, sa plus value pour vous, ou l'entreprise.

I recommend quick touch points with your boss and your team, just to make sure everyone is on the same page, even your client if it is necessary. This could be a short meeting, an e-mail, or any platform you may use. It should contain: -Your priorities set for the week, according to the project or project you are in. -Progress to the deadline and client expectations, and deviations or questions if any. -Time specs for you and your team on the project as you set your priorities. -Any changes that may lead or need a re framming. This intends to catch any deviation early and not just the day before a big client meeting. Also, you will get in touch earlier with your Boss's priorities and if there is a change you will be able to act fast.

In my experience is better to have a short communication time weekly, than long meetings with a big time span between them. Be aware, not every communication means a meeting I suggest: When you ask for your boss's advice, be clear on what you need your boss to do, decide or just check. Be clear, from the moment you set the agenda of a meeting, why are you having a meeting and who needs to be there to deliver progress. Regularly helps, but effective communication is also the clue. Make some initial agreements, on proper time and channels to communicate with your boss. Define what is important and what is urgent from the begining and the prefered way of getting in touch. Parafrase, don′t asume things are obvious, listen a lot, ask a lot.

Technology in HR consulting, is very useful to communicate better and faster. Learn how to use it, there are a lot of tools for teams planning and collaborating even if you can't be available at the same time, that unleashes lot's of great collaboration and time saving. Just be aware, you might have a diverse group of people in teams, so before you get on any technology make sure to have a conversation first, so you don't let anyone out by access to technology. It probably will need some hybrid approaches when you have low access to technology in some teams. Be aware, before you decide what tools to use and who you might need to help to get on any given platform.
