How can I talk to my boss without making him angry?

1. “Correct” understanding of leadership

1. The leader’s energy is limited

The decisions made by the leader must be based on the leader’s decision-making . Every decision cannot satisfy everyone. If employees don't understand or think the leader's decision is wrong, they should go to the leadership theory. The leader needs to spend a long time to explain clearly to every employee, and finally let the employees understand and accept this decision.

The time between decision-making and execution is very long, which affects work efficiency. Leaders will also become very tired and have no more energy to study other decisions.

When you understand this level, no matter whether the leader is right or wrong, as long as there are no issues of principle, issues of particularly significant impact, or issues that are obviously contrary to common sense, as a subordinate, remember This is good: Don’t reason with leaders easily. Leaders are always right in public!

2. Look at problems from different angles

The world is rich and colorful. Everyone looks at problems from different angles, and the judgments they make are naturally different. What is the difference between a leader's perspective on problems and that of ordinary employees?

(1) Overall view

Looking at the scenery from the top of the mountain and looking at the scenery from the bottom of the mountain are two different things. From the top of the mountain, you can see a panoramic view, as beautiful as a picture. Looking down the mountain, there may be dust and garbage everywhere. When leaders make a decision, they must consider the interests of the entire company or a certain department.

(2) Different abilities

It is undeniable that in most cases, leaders have richer experience and stronger capabilities. Different cognitive abilities naturally lead to different perspectives on things/people. Something that you think is useless may be a huge gold mine for your boss.

As a small employee of the company, the first thing to consider is self-interest. Therefore, the results of looking at problems will not be the same depending on the level and identity.

(3) Leaders need respect

In the workplace, leadership usually means authority. Reasoning with the leader means breaking the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Subordinates change from a passive acceptance state to a state of equality with the leader. Secondly, reasoning with the leader also challenges the leader's authority, causing the leader to feel "losing face". Therefore, it is possible that our starting point is good, but we get the opposite effect, and the gain outweighs the loss.

2. Leaders are not always right.

A leader is not a perfect person, but he is in a leadership position and must make decisions. Still, not every decision he makes is perfect. He also needs to listen to the suggestions and opinions of his subordinates when he makes mistakes. However, even if leaders are wrong, they usually show the characteristic of being "hard-talking".

Therefore, when leaders make mistakes, it is not that we are not allowed to give opinions and reason, but we must pay attention to methods and methods. It is necessary for leaders to realize that there are problems with their decision-making without losing face. In this way, your career will be smooth and your future will be bright.

3. How to properly remind the leader of his mistakes

1. Choose the right time

In public, you must not mention the leader's mistakes. In this case, the leader will think that you are going against him. Even if the leader is really wrong, he will not admit it. In this way, not only will it have no positive effect, but it will also have a very negative effect. Therefore, reminding leaders that they are wrong must be done in private.

2. Be prepared to solve the problem

It is wrong to only propose the leader without a solution. It is the most unwise choice to push the problem to the leader. This will only make the leader think that you are a rhetorical person without the ability to solve practical problems. The best thing to do is to give a solution when making a suggestion. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to one detail. When proposing a plan, don’t just give one plan, but at least two. In this case, the leader will be given the opportunity to choose. Otherwise, it will make the leader feel that you are making decisions for him. Handled properly, you can not only let the leader see your ability, but also feel your respect for him.
