8 Tips When Speaking to A Task Driven Boss

Your boss is your boss because he or she has been put in that position to deliver results. As the pressure grows and project deadlines are approaching, it can feel that they are frank, assertive, blunt, demanding and displays a lack of empathy. In times like these, here are eight simple things you can do when you enter a conversation with them.
  1. Make communication breif and to the point
  2. Respect their need for autonomy
  3. Be clear about rules and expectations
  4. Let them initiate
  5. Show your competence
  6. Stick to the topic
  7. Show independence
  8. Eliminate wasting time
When you speak their language in times of stress, you will find that they may turn to you when promotions or opportunities arise.

Good Luck and please leave comments with your success or issues.
