Sie navigieren mit Ihrem Chef durch Herausforderungen im Bereich Business Innovation. Wie können Sie eine positive Einstellung bewahren?

To maintain a positive attitude while navigating challenges with your boss in business innovation, focus on open communication and constructive feedback. Approach challenges as opportunities for growth, showing resilience and a solutions-oriented mindset. Acknowledge and celebrate small successes, and stay committed to your goals. Keep a proactive attitude, demonstrate flexibility, and seek mutual understanding and collaboration to build a supportive working relationship.

1. Stay Solution-Focused: Concentrate on solving problems rather than dwelling on difficulties. 2. Seek Feedback: Use constructive criticism to improve and show your willingness to learn. 3. Communicate Openly: Share your ideas and concerns transparently to foster mutual understanding. 4. Set Achievable Goals: Break down larger challenges into manageable tasks to track progress. 5. Practice Resilience: Embrace setbacks as learning opportunities and maintain a forward-looking perspective.

We all need inspiration. Timing is critical, but I'd recommend using a portion of your 1:1 time to try and inspire your boss with your ideas for innovation. Create a deck or a white paper and outline your bold idea. That allows you both to collaborate on innovative ideas and remain positive, while allowing your boss to know that you are also aligning with current needs. Again, timing is everything. It is also important to maintain your own positivity when you have a boss, who is uninterested in your ideas for innovation. There are other outlets. Use your strengths in DEI groups in your org. Write an academic paper or scholarly article. "Boss" doesn't just have to be "supervisor" it can benefit the "org" or "industry."

Compreenda profundamente os objetivos e expectativas do seu chefe. Isso ajudará a alinhar suas ações e garantir que você esteja trabalhando em direção aos mesmos resultados.

Coloque-se no lugar do seu chefe para entender as pressões e desafios que ele enfrenta. Essa empatia pode ajudar a melhorar a comunicação e reduzir o atrito.

Practice Reframing negative situations by asking yourself, “What can I learn from this?” or “How can this challenge help me grow?” Shifting your perspective can turn obstacles into opportunities for personal and professional development. Then look at ways to adapt and demonstrate this with your boss. Sometimes both email and verbal chats help. Keep it brief. Continue to 'offer' ways to actively support. Don't just say. 'Let me know if you need any support.' That is a sloppy statement. Think. Offer specifics. e.g., 'Can I support in setting up that meeting with xx stakeholders to discuss the item on your mind. I can facilitate and write notes' See//?

Esteja disposto a se adaptar às mudanças e às novas demandas que possam surgir. A flexibilidade demonstra resiliência e disposição para colaborar.

Certifique-se de que suas ideias e preocupações sejam expressas de forma clara e concisa. A comunicação eficaz pode prevenir mal-entendidos e garantir que todos estejam na mesma página.

Valorize os aspectos positivos da colaboração com seu chefe e reconheça os esforços dele. Isso ajuda a criar um ambiente de trabalho mais construtivo e motivador.

Hopefully, you are involved in a business constantly innovating in small ways or, even better, you are implementing change in big or little ways yourself. Positive reinforcement is the number one way to ensure others feel seen as contributors to innovation and I believe the "amount" of effort is actually irrelevant. I don't like the "tier" system of recognition. I recognize people in public channels or directly in emails to their supervisors to ensure they have been championed for helping with projects that moved innovation and collaboration forward. Absolutely critical. Absurd to attach colors or LOE to a person's commitment to help. Did you help? Then I am grateful and you are a rockstar.

One of my current mentors said to focus on the "what" more than the "how." Even writing that makes me cringe! We must focus on the 'how' because this is where all of the...but, I stop myself because I have been reflecting since she said this. In this day and age, we ARE being outpaced by this lack of reflection. We need to objectively step back, assess if we are engaging in recurrent analysis paralysis, and iterate in small/compliant/workable pieces. Innovation is halted when we don't reflect, pivot, progress, adjust, test, pivot again, etc. We can't measure an outcome if we never get to the outcome because we stuck in the "how." Regular reflection allows us to identify some of these kinks that are becoming more commonplace today.

Reserve um tempo para avaliar seu progresso e suas interações. Isso permitirá ajustar sua abordagem conforme necessário e manter a atitude positiva ao longo do tempo.
