#264: How Do I Have a Difficult Conversation With My Boss?


Listen Later

Your boss is micromanaging you, made a decision you know won't work, or completely misunderstood a situation — and now you have to set the record straight. The power dynamic makes these conversations terrifying because they control your paycheck, projects, and daily happiness at work. In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson shares her five-step framework for approaching your manager when they've messed up. She covers how to stay emotionally regulated, open with facts instead of accusations, and create solutions that preserve the relationship while solving the problem. She also explains why your boss likely has no idea their behavior is counterproductive and how to follow up for lasting change. If you're scared to talk to your boss about problems or feel like they won't listen to feedback, this episode is your roadmap.
