1 Assess the situation

Before you approach your boss, you need to have a clear understanding of the problem. Ask yourself: What are the expectations that are hindering your success? Are they too vague, too high, too frequent, or too mismatched with your skills and resources? How are they affecting your performance, well-being, and relationships? How have you tried to meet them so far? What are the consequences of not meeting them? Be honest and objective with yourself, and gather any evidence or feedback that supports your assessment.

2 Communicate with your boss

Once you have a clear picture of the situation, you need to communicate with your boss. Don't wait until the last minute or until things get worse. Request a meeting with your boss and explain your concerns in a respectful and professional manner. Use specific examples and data to show how the expectations are hindering your success. Avoid blaming, complaining, or making excuses. Instead, focus on finding solutions and expressing your willingness to improve. Listen to your boss's perspective and try to understand their rationale and priorities.

3 Negotiate and compromise

After you communicate with your boss, you need to negotiate and compromise. You can't expect your boss to change their expectations completely or immediately. However, you can try to reach a middle ground that works for both of you. For example, you can ask for more clarity, guidance, feedback, or support. You can also suggest alternative or realistic goals, timelines, or standards. You can also offer to take on different tasks or projects that suit your strengths and interests. Be flexible and open-minded, but also assertive and confident.

4 Set boundaries and prioritize

Even if you negotiate and compromise with your boss, you still need to set boundaries and prioritize. You can't do everything at once or please everyone all the time. You need to protect your time, energy, and health. Learn to say no to unreasonable or irrelevant requests. Delegate or outsource tasks that are not essential or within your scope. Focus on the most important and urgent tasks and goals. Manage your workload and schedule effectively. Seek help or support when you need it.

The boss is not here to make your "life" (work) more difficult, on the contrary, he should help you to make it easier. If he delegates tasks to you that do not make sense or are not in the interest of the company, you should question this. ?? If you are given tasks that are not possible in terms of time, also this is not the idea of a boss. He does not have the right to delegate arbitrary things or delegate tasks that are not realistic in terms of time. ? Unfortunately, there are always situations where the bosses interferes in tasks that are the responsibility of the employee- this is called micromanagement. ??♂? Set boundaries here before it is too late and, if necessary, report to the manager of the boss or directly to HR. ????

5 Monitor and evaluate

Finally, you need to monitor and evaluate your progress and situation. Don't assume that everything is resolved after one conversation or agreement. Keep track of your performance and results. Document your achievements and challenges. Solicit feedback and recognition from your boss and others. Review and adjust your goals and expectations regularly. If things improve, celebrate and acknowledge your efforts. If things don't improve, consider other options or actions.
