You have a boss with a different work style. How can you make the relationship work?

Debemos siempre tener la mente abierta con apertura para escuchar y conocer diferentes estilos, esto nos ayudará en nuestro aprendizaje, siempre debemos ver el lado positivo pues esto nos ayudará a adoptar las mejoras prácticas y construir con esos aprendizajes nuestro propio estilo de liderazgo.

Very important subject for people and I don't like this word or topic but still commenting. Take the time to observe and understand your boss's work style. Communication is key to any successful working relationship. Make sure to communicate clearly and regularly with your boss. Be flexible and adaptable in your approach to work. Be willing to adjust your methods and priorities to align with preferences and the overall goals of the organization. Establishing trust is crucial in any professional relationship. Actively seek feedback from your boss on your performance and how you can improve.

Everyone have a unique expertise, or style that make them popular or highlight their need that particular case. Boss and i have different style; i would like to determine the hidden similarity b/w us. And then due to similarity points i make my style such a way to match with boss. But it will only occur when we both are doing right and good works. Approach may different while working on good things. But in contrast, it does not works. Also, by meeting similarity may boss change his style too.

In my experience, my boss is a “savant” when it comes to most data recollection. He is also very old school when it comes to technology. He is a perfectionist and you absolutely can’t fault him for that. I have to fact check everything. I use a lot of excel formulas and newer technologies for data analysis and processes, and I do make the occasional human error. I have learned that my techniques and skills are not a measure of intelligence to him as long as I can accomplish the desired end result. Neither of us are going to change our style for most things, but we can still collaborate and I personally love having a second set of eyes!

First, we need to understand the term "Boss" it means a person who exercises control or authority. So, one need to mentally be prepared that the person he is reporting to is a Boss, which means that person has walked an extra mile to reach that position. So, respect is the very first thing that should come in one's mind. Now, if the work style is different then we need to understand that the person comes with a proven experience or a track record. So, there is not harm following the work style or pattern. Now the benefit is that if one gets synced with the work style then the scope of understanding and area of suggestions gets a good value of the DR.

You have to learn to respect the differences that exist between you are your boss. If you successfully learn to do that you will achieve a safe and relatable work atmosphere. You would learn to focus more on the actualization of your objectives rather than the weaknesses of your boss.

Acknowledge and honor the nuanced distinctions in work styles, opinions, and preferences with unwavering respect. This commitment to embracing differences not only fosters a positive work environment but also elevates open communication, contributing to a highly professional and harmonious working relationship.

Happens all the time. Learn to identify the style and respect it, as you would with peers and sub-ordinates. We are far less generous with bosses esp. when it comes to style and personality. They are there for a reason - be it competence, networking, experience or even nepotism. Doesn't matter. You need to adapt to their style and quantify it into stated and documented goals and expectations. Having regular connects helps understand the persona and the best way to communicate while expressing your style as well. Getting involved in some of their projects outside of your role will also help. Try and get to know them as people. A little effort in making a connection with the person goes a long way in establishing mutual respect and empathy.

Just keep adjusting yourself according to however you boss works. So if he/she is comfortable with a certain communication style/work style/presentation style and more like these, then learn how to adapt yourself with it. With this, you will actually gain more transferable skills. However, if there are certain styles or changes that do not match with your ethics, and you find them suspicious and not worth it, then I think communicating about them firmly is the best way to resolve the difference.

One things I learned in the military not all situations are the same. Being able to assess and evaluation the best means of approach means be able to accept necessary adaptation and overcoming situational needs.

Demonstrate adaptability by aligning your work style, communication, and approach with the identified differences. This proactive adjustment ensures a harmonious working relationship, promoting collaboration and showcasing your flexibility to meet the unique needs and preferences of your boss.

Once you identify the difference, you work accordingly. You respect difference, hence communicate accordingly. Communication is positive manner such that neither bosstake is like attack on him nor you take in that manner. Difference in working style make you a man of particular work.

?? "Confrontation" may be a big word like a warning of danger, but it is in fact a gateway for solving many problems. Do you know that many tricky problems in this world ?? could have been solved through proper confrontation. This is where most of us lack. If we see something is wrong, we do not voice our opinion. You never know that may be your opinion could have set the difference. This is why employees who communicated properly with their superiors grow quicker as they do possess the self believe about their perspective which makes them stronger ??

Initiate open and transparent communication regarding the identified differences in work styles. Clearly express your understanding, seek alignment on expectations, and foster a collaborative dialogue. This approach ensures a shared understanding, minimizes potential misunderstandings, and strengthens the foundation of a productive professional relationship.

I feel diverse personalities create spaces for conflicts but these spaces can also be filled with opportunities to change perspectives. Remember there will be a time when you'll be a boss and get a team different from who you are. So your investment in communicating, collaborating, picking up different perspectives and problem-handling will help you to deal with future situations of a similar nature. Do not be condescending to your boss's persona, rather learn the right words to communicate to him, a few tweaks and adjustments in your work style and communicating to tweak his style for you might give a middle ground for a positive work environment.

Collaborating despite differences and leveraging diverse work styles can lead to better results. By recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of both your own and your boss's work style, you can complement each other effectively. For instance, if you are creative and your boss is analytical, you can combine brainstorming with data analysis. Similarly, if you prefer working independently while your boss is more collaborative, you can work solo and then share your insights with the team.

Forge collaboration by leveraging diverse perspectives and skills despite identified differences. Embrace a unified approach to achieve shared goals, encouraging a synergistic work environment. This inclusive mindset promotes teamwork, fosters innovation, and contributes to a successful and resilient professional partnership.

Relationship, i normally thinks that relation b/w similar people only succeed but sometime, different mindset people, different work style get together to form relationships and they successfully grow. In this case your mutual understanding are important. You can't grow if you and your partner don't have mutual understanding. In case boss and i, firstly i see there style and my style (comparison), then looking similarity, then work accordingly. In this case you must do adjustments, apply limits, giving feedbacks, help in improve the skills etc (where need) (both partner) otherwise such relationship couldn't stand for long trem

Regularly assess and review the working relationship to identify strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement. Solicit feedback, discuss expectations, and make necessary adjustments. This ongoing review process ensures a dynamic and responsive collaboration, fostering a resilient and mutually beneficial professional alliance.

Relationship development in all things is key. Although we speak of differences we rarely look at sameness. You will both have your strengths and weaknesses and together you can develop a method that suits all parties. Collaboration doesn’t mean you have to Sonia’s ideas, tweak them to suit both parties and you’ll find success.

I would say clarify expectations, make sure you understand what your boss wants you to do in your job. Talk about things like what tasks you need to do, when they need to be done, and what results are expected. This helps make sure you and your boss are on the same page about what needs to be done and how to do it. Talk about your work and anything related to it. Being communicative helps keep everyone on the same page and ensures things run smoothly.

Yeah as Neha said, you must listen carefully to your boss (while dealing the assigned tasks), otherwise such relation wouldn't last long. And frequently misunderstanding, not properly completing the tasks cause lose of your jobs.

When our work style is different from our boss it is necessary to communicate and look upto what they expect from us. It is also necessary to be adaptive to changing circumstances. While also delivering quality results no matter the work style. If we are able to achieve targets, deliver quality results and be adaptive to changing circumstances it is definitely a win win situation.
