You're struggling to connect with your boss. What strategies can you employ to build a positive relationship?

A simple acknowledgement of the fact that your boss has reached the respective position because they have shown some potential. This idea itself helps in respecting and responding to their style of work. No other person can behave exactly like how we prefer. They will always show traits of their individuality. So identifying these traits help us understand them better to create a foundation of the relationship.

Compliment them on their work! I remember having a manager that nobody liked to deal with and I remember complimenting her on the good job she did on organizing a project and her face lit up! This simple Compliment shows that I acknowledge her work, that I appreciate her work, and at the same time it opened up the door for a conversation. She started telling me about how she got into it and from there it was all smooth sailing. So don't just Compliment like hey nice dress lol make sure it's related to their work. They will appreciate and remember you.

Es posible que no le agrade por alguna razón hasta inconsciente, de la que no soy responsable. No todas las personas me tienen que querer, es irracional. Puedo solicitar un encuentro o reunión, comenzar con un feedback honesto y positivo en relación al vínculo profesional. Luego preguntar directamente si esta conforme con mi desempe?o en el rol, observando que lo siento distante personalmente, si esto tiene algo que ver con mi accionar para poder mejorarlo. Esto brindará dos cosas: 1) Que la persona sea consciente de la relación que tenemos y 2) Que pueda entender su satisfacción profesional, que no siempre se relaciona con las personas. Es muy posible que ante la honestidad y la iniciativa, tome conciencia y cambie su actitud con nosotros.

SIGNALS OF TRUST One thing I wish someone had shared with me in my younger working days when I was in a stressful situation with a boss, was the message, “listen to understand, not to respond” . By doing this we are more likely to really hear what is being asked of us or what the other person needs. In order to stay grounded and reduce the potential sense of anxiety or fear that can come with communicating with someone one feels disconnected from or even threatened by, try focusing on your breath or on your connection with the ground (literally, focus on your feet! ) relax the jaw and the shoulders and smile. These actions send subtle messages to another person that you are calm and composed and therefore someone that can be trusted.

If you’re struggling to connect with your boss, it’s time to step up your communication game. Start by being clear and concise in your interactions. Get to the point and make sure your message is understood. Regularly check in to align on expectations and priorities; tools like Slack or regular email updates can help keep things on track. Also, don’t just talk about work, take the time to understand their perspective and find common ground. Building a positive relationship starts with open, honest communication and a genuine effort to connect. Keep it real, and your boss will notice the effort.

The truth is when you seek feedback you can go within and answer the question: who am I? The truth becomes more truth at the sight of a profound moment.

Si la persona continúa con esa actitud, y eso no afecta el desempe?o profesional, no debemos preocuparnos, cada persona da lo que tiene y lo que puede. En lo personal me daría tristeza por su incapacidad. Si lo que hace afecta al grupo en lo profesional, es nuestra obligación presentar un informe relacionado con acciones, hechos, pues es posible que este cometiendo una falla en su desempe?o, y cuando somos contratados para determinados objetivos, debemos revelar los obstáculos, es nuestro trabajo.
