You have a boss who is not supportive. How can you get them to help you succeed?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Having a boss who is not supportive can be frustrating and demoralizing, especially in the healthcare management field where you need to deal with complex and sensitive issues. You may feel like your boss does not value your work, does not give you enough feedback or guidance, or does not advocate for your needs and goals. However, you do not have to let a bad boss ruin your career or your well-being. There are some strategies you can use to get them to help you succeed, or at least to minimize the negative impact they have on you.

1 Understand their perspective

The first step is to try to understand why your boss is not supportive. Maybe they are under pressure from their own superiors, or they have different expectations or priorities than you, or they are struggling with their own personal or professional challenges. By empathizing with their situation, you may be able to find some common ground and communicate more effectively. You may also discover some areas where you can help them or offer solutions, which can improve your relationship and show your value.

Get to a place of acceptance that you can't change other people. When you try, they feel judged by you and the situation can escalate. Drop into gratitude for what you do have: another supportive colleague, a fun project at work, or a vacation coming up. Stay at the top of your game and create value for the company. Focus on supporting YOURSELF with any boundaries you might need to maintain your actions and feelings of being productive at work. Realize that people might change, and give them that opportunity, ask for what you need without attachment to the outcome. If you reach a place where you need to move on, give yourself the support of not feeling like a victim of circumstance. Make your own choices.

Having an unsupportive boss is perhaps the number one reason people leave their jobs. It is my opinion that it is not the responsibility of the subordinates to accommodate a bad or unsupportive boss with the caveat of being objectively honest about the situation which is a challenge in any human situation. The transactional nature of relationships demand that you 1) look first at your own personal relationship with your boss from their perspective to see if you have to make changes to gain the boss’s trust and support. 2) review all prior interactions with your boss and evaluate the feedback from you boss 3) make sincere changes to the way you communicate and present ideas to your boss 4) don’t judge until you inspect these points.

2 Communicate your needs and goals

The second step is to communicate your needs and goals clearly and assertively to your boss. Do not assume that they know what you want or need, or that they will automatically support you. Instead, be proactive and specific about what you are working on, what you are aiming for, and what you need from them. For example, you can ask for more feedback, recognition, resources, autonomy, or opportunities. You can also share your achievements, challenges, and learning points, and show how they align with the organizational goals and values. By communicating your needs and goals, you can demonstrate your professionalism, competence, and commitment, and also hold your boss accountable for their role.

3 Seek feedback and support elsewhere

The third step is to seek feedback and support elsewhere if your boss is not providing them. You can look for mentors, peers, or other leaders who can offer you constructive criticism, advice, guidance, or encouragement. You can also network with people in other departments or organizations who can help you learn new skills, expand your knowledge, or explore new opportunities. By seeking feedback and support elsewhere, you can enhance your personal and professional growth, and also reduce your dependence on your boss.

4 Manage your emotions and stress

The fourth step is to manage your emotions and stress that may arise from having a non-supportive boss. You may feel angry, frustrated, anxious, or depressed, which can affect your performance, health, and happiness. To cope with these emotions and stress, you can practice self-care, such as taking breaks, exercising, meditating, or doing hobbies. You can also vent to someone you trust, such as a friend, a family member, or a therapist. You can also use positive affirmations, gratitude, or humor to boost your mood and confidence. By managing your emotions and stress, you can protect your mental and physical well-being, and also maintain your motivation and resilience.

5 Set boundaries and expectations

The fifth step is to set boundaries and expectations with your boss. You may need to limit your contact with them, or avoid engaging in conflicts or arguments. You may also need to say no to unreasonable requests, or negotiate for better terms or conditions. You may also need to document your work and interactions, or escalate issues to higher authorities if necessary. By setting boundaries and expectations, you can establish your respect and dignity, and also prevent your boss from taking advantage of you or harming you.

6 Consider your options

The sixth step is to consider your options if your boss is not supportive. You may decide to stay and cope with the situation, or you may decide to leave and look for a better opportunity. You may also decide to transfer to a different department or team, or to pursue a different career path. Whatever you decide, you should weigh the pros and cons, and prepare yourself for the consequences. You should also keep your skills and network updated, and have a backup plan in case things change. By considering your options, you can take charge of your career and future, and also find a more supportive and fulfilling work environment.
