1 Identify the problem

The first step is to identify the problem. What is causing the conflict between you and your boss? Is it a personality clash, a communication issue, a performance expectation, or something else? Try to be specific and objective. Write down the facts and examples of the problem, and how it affects your work and well-being. Avoid making assumptions or judgments about your boss's intentions or motivations.

"Managing Up" is easy if you do not anticipate a negative outcome. If you do not catastrophize prior to trying to improve interactions with your boss, you're shooting for a win/win outcome: A boss' KPIs are getting A+ work from you. I your not catastrophizing, try something like: "Hey, boss; I'm aware that we've had several "'disconnects' over the past [time period]. My goal is to work seamlessly with you. Can you give me a time to discuss my concerns?" 1. If the boss says, "Okay; how's Monday @1:00 pm?" success is likely if you speak less than you LISTEN attentively. You gotta make the boss want to get along with you. Ultimately, boss' control your fate at work. 2. If the boss says, "Get back to me in a month," look for a new job.

Depends what you mean by "Boss" If he/she is your line manager then you could try asking for third party intervention in the forrm of a mediator but if its the big boss, I.e. pays your wages and they ain't interested on hearing you out, then it might be time to say adios amigo and go and find somewhere else that respects you.

2 Seek feedback and support

The next step is to seek feedback and support. Find out how others perceive the situation. Ask your colleagues, mentors, or friends for their opinions and advice. They might have a different perspective or some insights that can help you. You can also look for support from your union, your human resources department, or a professional counselor if you need it. Don't isolate yourself or vent your frustrations in unproductive ways.

All of the above yes, if you are in a large organisation, including mediation but if you are in Charlie's Back street Garage, greasing up a crankshaft, you won't have all of the above available to you,except maybe Ted who makes the brew and nothing much else. You will know whether it's worth putting your head above the parapet or not...the reaction you receive to raising a problem will determine that!

3 Communicate effectively

The third step is to communicate effectively. Try to have a constructive dialogue with your boss. Choose a good time and place to talk, and prepare what you want to say. Use "I" statements to express your feelings and needs, and avoid blaming or accusing your boss. Listen actively to your boss's point of view, and acknowledge their concerns and expectations. Seek to understand and respect each other's perspectives, and find common ground.

4 Negotiate and compromise

The fourth step is to negotiate and compromise. Once you have communicated effectively, try to find a solution that works for both of you. Be realistic and flexible, and don't expect your boss to change completely. Focus on the actions and behaviors that you can both agree on, and set clear and measurable goals and timelines. You can also suggest some feedback mechanisms or follow-up meetings to monitor your progress and address any issues.

5 Build trust and rapport

The fifth step is to build trust and rapport . Show your boss that you are committed to improving the situation and your relationship. Demonstrate your competence and professionalism, and deliver on your promises. Appreciate your boss's strengths and achievements, and give positive feedback when appropriate. Be respectful and courteous, and avoid gossiping or criticizing your boss behind their back. Try to find some common interests or values that you can bond over.

Rapport building is very important while maintaining good relationship with your boss. Try to talk personally and like a family to him in spare time to understand the current situation

6 Evaluate and adapt

The final step is to evaluate and adapt. Review the situation regularly, and see if there are any changes or improvements. Celebrate your successes, and learn from your challenges. Be open to feedback, and adjust your actions and expectations accordingly. If the situation does not improve, or worsens, you might need to consider other options, such as changing your role, your team, or your organization. But don't give up easily, and remember that you have the skills and the power to deal with your boss.

You shouldn't have to acquire skills and the power to deal withyour boss. It's enough to be utilising your skills and power to deal and deliver in your job. If you're coming to work to manage the boss on top of the day job, it's not the job for you, period.
