How to effectively communicate with your boss
Anyone who’s ever been employed and has had to answer to a boss—whether you have one destined for the great boss hall of fame or one who's the devil incarnate—has come to learn that the key to having an effective working relationship is communication.
Developing and maintaining an appropriate flow of thoughts, ideas, and work updates with the person you report to on a daily basis does the following:
- It empowers you to perform the varied tasks and responsibilities associated with your job while minimizing confusion or miscommunication.
- It helps you stay connected to the flow of essential information across teams and departments.
- It allows you to build a relationship of mutual respect and trust with your superiors and colleagues—all allowing you to do your best at work every day.
