1 Know Goals

Before initiating any conversation with your boss, make sure you're clear about the goals of the discussion. Are you seeking feedback, presenting a problem, or offering a solution? Understanding your objectives will help you structure your conversation and keep it focused. If you're uncertain about your boss's goals, don't hesitate to ask for clarification. This will demonstrate your commitment to getting things right and prevent any potential miscommunication.

I agree that it’s important to outline your goals for any conversation and to keep those goals in mind as your conversation unfolds. It is also crucial to recognize that your goals and interests may be in conflict with the goals and interests of the other parties at the table. In some discussions total candor can be a terrible and costly mistake. If the other side thinks it’s a poker game, you must be the better poker player.

2 Be Concise

When communicating with your boss, it's crucial to be concise. Time is often limited, so get straight to the point without sacrificing politeness. Before you start the conversation, think about what you want to say and the most straightforward way to say it. This doesn't mean you should skip important details, but rather that you should organize your thoughts to make your communication as clear and effective as possible.

Getting straight to the point without sacrificing politeness is often a difficult tightrope to walk. Know who you’re talking to. If the person you’re talking to has integrity and values direct, candid assessments, then by all means go for it. But even a person who values succinctness and candor may require a bit of preparation and even some sugar-coating if you’re about to burst one of his or her favorite bubbles. You don’t want the meeting to be halted before you’ve successfully delivered your message.

3 Listen Actively

Active listening is a vital component of clear communication. When your boss is speaking, give them your full attention, acknowledge their points, and ask follow-up questions if necessary. This not only shows respect but also ensures that you fully understand their perspective. By actively engaging in the conversation, you can avoid misunderstandings and make sure that you're responding appropriately to their comments or instructions.

I agree but always be alert to deflection. Listening to carefully does not mean you should allow yourself to be thrown off course.

4 Follow Up

After discussing important matters with your boss, it's wise to follow up with a summary of what was agreed upon. This can be done through a brief email or note, reiterating key points and any action steps that need to be taken. This written record serves as a reference for both you and your boss, providing clarity and accountability. It also allows your boss to correct any misunderstandings before they lead to further issues.

A written summary of a meeting can be an immensely powerful tool. The same is true of an audio recording (but use it judiciously).

5 Show Empathy

Understanding your boss's challenges and pressures can greatly improve communication. Show empathy by considering their perspective and constraints when discussing issues or requests. This doesn't mean you should shy away from expressing your needs or concerns, but rather that you should do so in a way that acknowledges their position as well. By demonstrating empathy, you foster a more open and trusting communication channel with your boss.

6 Use Feedback

Lastly, make use of feedback from your boss to enhance communication. If they provide suggestions on how to improve your interactions, take them seriously and incorporate them into your communication style. Additionally, don't be afraid to ask for feedback if it's not offered. This shows your willingness to learn and grow, which can only strengthen the relationship with your boss and improve your overall work performance.
