1 Identify the root cause

The first step is to understand why your boss is behaving this way. Is it because they are insecure, inexperienced, or stressed? Is it because they have unrealistic expectations, poor communication skills, or a rigid mindset? Is it because they don't trust you, value you, or respect you? Or is it because they have a different vision, style, or goal than you? By identifying the root cause of their behavior, you can tailor your approach and avoid taking it personally.

Most of the times the leaders are self driven and want their subordinates to align with themselves. When there is a gap between the expected outcome and the actual outcome, the subordinates get this feeling. Just try to understand your boss's perspective and communicate your challenges in a structured manner to him.

2 Set clear boundaries

The next step is to set clear boundaries with your boss. You need to communicate what you need, what you expect, and what you can offer. You need to establish your role, your responsibilities, and your limits. You need to define your scope, your timeline, and your deliverables. You need to negotiate your resources, your support, and your feedback. By setting clear boundaries, you can protect your autonomy, your creativity, and your productivity.

Setting clear boundaries often help but many a times it doesn't work. So understanding the why is important at first place. Are to you trying to set boundaries to limiting your roles and responsibilities or to protect yourself from unwanted abuses is to be understood.

Uma conversa franca, aberta e objetiva pode mudar completamente o rumo das coisas. Entender o que é esperado de você, e comunicar o que você espera da empresa e do gestor, em contrapartida, é o que tornará tudo mais simples e claro. A comunica??o é fundamental nesse ponto, eliminando quaisquer dúvidas que ambos os lados possam ter.

3 Seek alignment and collaboration

The third step is to seek alignment and collaboration with your boss. You need to show them that you understand their perspective, their objectives, and their concerns. You need to demonstrate your competence, your value, and your results. You need to share your ideas, your insights, and your solutions. You need to invite their input, their feedback, and their approval. By seeking alignment and collaboration, you can build trust, rapport, and respect.

Your boss may not know or trust your abilities, or may not be used to allowing people such kind of independence. Create a watertight plan on how you will deliver results, with interim weekly milestones when you can get on call and discuss progress. If you are taking responsibility, delivering results, your boss is likely to be more than happy as it takes their headaches away.

Hoje, no exato momento em que me encontro profissionalmente, essa é uma situa??o praticamente impossível, dado o suporte e a parceria que meu chefe tem comigo e com toda a equipe. Porém, nos meus quase 20 anos de carreira, me deparei com situa??es parecidas, e a maneira de lidar com o problema sempre foi a conversa. Alinhar expectativas, verdades ditas, ter escuta ativa e humildade para entender se o problema poderia ou n?o ser eu. Como sempre, a comunica??o é o melhor caminho quando há o que se alinhar. E quando n?o há mais o que fazer, sair da zona de conforto (que mesmo em situa??es complicadas ainda é uma zona de conforto), o melhor de tudo é procurar novos horizontes.

A comunica??o mais uma vez é chave nesse aspecto. Demonstrar que divergências n?o s?o negativas necessariamente, mas que você tem, em última instancia, o melhor resultado para a empresa como seu principal objetivo, fará toda a diferen?a. é necessário mostrar os motivos das divergências, resolvê-las e definir também quais s?o as convergências e alinhamentos existentes.

4 Choose your battles wisely

The fourth step is to choose your battles wisely with your boss. You need to pick the issues that matter most to you, your project, and your organization. You need to avoid the issues that are trivial, irrelevant, or counterproductive. You need to prepare your arguments, your evidence, and your alternatives. You need to present your case, your reasoning, and your benefits. By choosing your battles wisely, you can influence, persuade, and negotiate.

Vários pontos podem gerar divergências e, eventualmente, conflitos, mas nem todos tem relevancia suficiente para serem levados em frente. De forma geral, n?o é produtivo manter discuss?es grandes sobre tópicos pouco importantes. Definir quais batalhas devem ser compradas é importantíssimo para evitar desgastes desnecessários que podem minar a rela??o com o gestor.

5 Seek support and guidance

The fifth step is to seek support and guidance from others. You need to find allies, mentors, and coaches who can help you cope, grow, and succeed. You need to network with peers, colleagues, and experts who can offer you advice, feedback, and resources. You need to consult with HR, managers, or leaders who can mediate, intervene, or resolve. By seeking support and guidance, you can learn, improve, and thrive.

You need to decide if you can adapt, change, or transform. By knowing when to walk away, you can respect yourself, your career, and your future.

Have you made it clear how important it is for you to have autonomy and independence in your daily demands? Have you aligned your expectations with him, making it clear how far you can go alone and when you should involve him? Será que você deixou claro o qu?o importante é para vocês ter autonomia e independência em suas demandas do dia a dia? Fez um alinhamento de expectativas com ele, deixando claro até onde você pode ir sozinho e quando deve envolve-lo?
