My boss is very controlling and does not really trust the team, he manages with a do as I say or you know where the door is style -in short he behaves like a major d..k!

How do I influence things?

Summary:

• Get the full story - as in all the facts not just a part truth and your own assumptions 
• Understand the boss and find out what the drivers are 
• Examine my own drivers, try to improve the relationship
• Generate other possibilities or options in writing 
• Speak to the boss - be empathetic and control the emotions
• No matter what the decision thank the boss and ask for feedback 

As always I look forward to your comments and if you have a question please email it to [email protected]
