Do you disagree with your boss on a way forward (vision), have ulterior values or motives, break-downs in communication, or feel your talents are being underutilized and undervalued?
How do you stop the rot and initiate a process to take ownership of your feelings, be the captain of your ship and influence your relationship so you can get what you want?
Recognize your issues with ways your boss does business. If this is too much to handle start looking for a new job. However, if you can understand this and be ok with it, you will find yourself more able to take ownership of your feelings and grow your relationship.
Try communicate your need to be more involved in creating a vision aligned with your values. See if you can validate this with results the company’s looking for. Open dialogue and rapport are effective tools for your growth and development as an individual and a collective.
If you feel your talents are being underutilized communicate this non-vindictively and show your boss how your skills can be used to benefit the company. What skills do you have that will give you a competitive edge?
Could you write reports or articles on competitors, the nature of your industry, or internal company flaws to increase value? Could you redesign an internal process for more effectiveness? If these seem like large projects focus on a smaller scale value-add.
Does one disagreement with your boss have a snowball effect on your future interactions? Before things spiral into an argument try observing your behavior at times when you feel uncomfortable around your boss.
What do you think and how do you feel when you’re around him/her - anxious, angry, jealous, vindictive..? By observing and not responding to these thoughts and feelings you build awareness and mastery around such impulses.
Does your behavior reflect your core values when cooperating with your boss and to what extent do your interactions advance your career by way of more money, a higher company position, more meaning and purpose, or a greater sense of happiness?
