1 Identify the problem

The first step is to identify the problem. Why do you feel like your boss doesn't support you? Is it because they have unrealistic expectations, poor communication, or different styles? Or is it because you have made some mistakes, missed some deadlines, or failed to meet some goals? Be honest with yourself and try to understand the root cause of the issue. This will help you address it effectively and avoid blaming or resenting your boss.

When my boss doesn't support me, I find another job. Running "uphill" against the boss is a losing proposition! More than likely I'll find a pay raise too!

1. Tell the manager how you feel 2. If the problem doesn't change and you keep not feeling valued or respected - change the job, there is way too much of life to live than wasting it as a worker for somebody who makes you depressed, people who appreciate your hard working and etiquette exist

2 Communicate clearly

The second step is to communicate clearly with your boss. Don't assume that they know what you need, what you are doing, or how you are feeling. Instead, be proactive and initiate regular conversations with them. Share your progress, challenges, and feedback. Ask for their guidance, input, and support. Listen to their perspective, expectations, and concerns. Express your appreciation, recognition, and respect. By communicating clearly, you can build trust, rapport, and alignment with your boss.

Support means different things to different people. When you say you need more support, what do you actually mean? This is a great time to get specific and list your needs. Oftentimes, people want to offer that support or think that they are. However, if you don't have consensus on what "support" means for you, you'll continue on the path of ambiguity. Be kind to yourself, and your boss. Prepare for the conversation and clearly state 3-5 things that you need in terms of support. Do not anticipate that your boss will be the one to deliver on all. However, you can then structure the conversation so that the two of you are then working together to combat these hurdles instead of combatting one another.

3 Solve problems together

The third step is to solve problems together with your boss. Don't avoid or hide problems, but don't complain or blame either. Instead, approach problems as opportunities to learn, improve, and collaborate. Show your boss that you are responsible, resourceful, and solution-oriented. Seek their advice, suggestions, and help when needed. Involve them in the decision-making process and respect their authority and expertise. By solving problems together, you can demonstrate your value, competence, and commitment to your boss.

4 Manage expectations

The fourth step is to manage expectations with your boss. Don't overpromise or underdeliver, but don't sell yourself short or settle for less either. Instead, set realistic, specific, and measurable goals and deadlines with your boss. Clarify your roles, responsibilities, and priorities. Negotiate your resources, budget, and scope. Update your boss on any changes, delays, or risks. Deliver high-quality results and celebrate your achievements. By managing expectations, you can avoid conflicts, disappointments, and frustrations with your boss.

5 Seek feedback

The fifth step is to seek feedback from your boss. Don't wait for annual reviews or formal evaluations, but don't be defensive or sensitive either. Instead, ask for regular, constructive, and actionable feedback from your boss. Be open to their praise, criticism, and suggestions. Learn from their experience, knowledge, and insights. Implement their recommendations and show your improvement. Thank them for their feedback and ask for more. By seeking feedback, you can grow your skills, performance, and confidence with your boss.

6 Be supportive

The final step is to be supportive of your boss. Don't compete or undermine them, but don't be passive or dependent either. Instead, be a team player and a leader. Support your boss's vision, mission, and strategy. Align your actions, decisions, and values with theirs. Advocate for their interests, goals, and reputation. Help them with their challenges, tasks, and projects. Recognize their efforts, contributions, and achievements. By being supportive, you can earn your boss's respect, trust, and loyalty.

El apoyo tal como cualquier otra interacción humana es algo subjetivo. En mi experiencia me ha tocado trabajar con jefes que creian estar dando soporte, y para mi no era el necesario. Como también me ha tocado trabajar con equipos que esperaban algo diferente de mi como lider. La comunicación clara y concreta es estrictamente necesaria. Explicar que es lo que sucede o molesta, y escucharlo atentamente ( recordemos que comunicación no es solo hablar!!). Si esto no funciona y no hay un ajuste en alguna de las partes que generen un cambio, bueno o bien trabajar la resiliencia hasta encontrar mejoras en la situación... o bien el cambio tendra que ser hacia otro proyecto... porque el desgaste puede ser muy grande y la vida muy corta!
