Build Trust with Your Type A Boss

Build Trust with Your Type A Boss

Build-Trust-with-Your-Type-A-Boss Build Trust with Your Type A BossIt’s not easy working under high performers. While Type A bosses are driven and successful, they’re also demanding and more likely to micromanage. But you can improve your relationship, and make your job more enjoyable.

  • Speak up. If you disagree about something or have other concerns, be direct. Show that you’re not afraid to voice opinions, and your boss will respect you.
  • Get to know your boss. Build an outside-of-work relationship by sharing some of your personal passions and goals. Do you both have kids? Play tennis? Finding similarities can help you two build trust.
  • Know that it’s not you. If your boss is piling more work on you and not giving enough credit, try to push your frustrations aside and ask how she is doing. Chances are she’s not trying to be dismissive; she’s just lacking sleep or has a big decision weighing on her.

I believe that Leadership is not just Political leadership but Leadership in very aspect of the word. Lets all shine in our corners where we are. We should also support each other as Ghanaians 1st before extending our hands to strangers. We should allow the Princes of Land to marry the Land not Strangers 1st.
