Here's how you can handle a boss who isn't giving clear direction or feedback.

Clarity remains the linchpin wielding a project to be an inspiration. When you find the instructions opaque, avoid an abrupt response; just hit your cabin. Recollect and connect all the dots, and brainstorm thoroughly. Maximize your appreciation and apprehension with the details provided by the documents and the instructions of the boss. You might find many answers already lined up in front, with the exception of a few or many times nothing. Keep yourself dedicated to appreciation and apprehension. Keep your bosses in their comfort zone with the seeking of directions deemed necessary, not for the sake of it. Seek directions, not questions.

Usually in these kind of situations establishing ground floor with the entire team helps to find a main objective and gives direction to our courses of action and despite that setting choices to make for the boss which we have analyzed in the process makes direction

Solemnly crafted written correspondence serves as the foundation of the art of cracking and completing the project. Here, seeing and hearing may raise considerable irksomes in the development and execution phases for either side. Well, it's not about distrust; however, for sure, appreciation capabilities and communication skills vary with all. To reach the phase of concord, reading the mindset, intention, interest, and objective would become a lot easier when in possession of written correspondence. It duly annotates your earnest approach and repudiates signs of a frivolous attitude.

Some leaders need to see a project (or a part of a project) in situ to know — or otherwise feel — whether it's right, either directionally or literally. Some actually don't know what they want, just that a problem needs to be solved for. Don't simply check in and share updates verbally. If it's written work, write it out and have them read it with you in the room and provide feedback in real time. What do they like? What feels off? If it's project management, build the workback schedule and review it live. If it's a deck, build a few example slides and show them. Take them on your creative journey and make them a partner in it. They might realize certain things about their own expectations for the project they hadn't before.

Don't just understand their style; try to imitate it (without losing your voice). If they write super succinct emails, respond succinctly. If they favor bullet points, respond with, or to, their bullet points. When they ask something big of you, respond in a way that demonstrates you understand the big ask. Your job is to make their life easier, and that starts with communicating that you got the message, in a way they'll understand.

No two minds think alike; rather, the execution modus operandi has multiple variants. Adoption remains an obligation for employees. It's always measured through the comprehension skills you exhibit with every passing day. If you're a quick learner and a sharp reader of minds and habits, your performance will definitely be replicated. Adoption of the working style of the boss must be dealt with solely by the employee. Staff is always employed to facilitate the boss's achievement of objectives and goals. Keep facilitating in order to learn and lead further.

Mutual trust is directly proportional to the amount of time you invest and the understanding you develop with your bosses. Communication gaps may conveniently lead to disaster in any field of life or profession. It's a two-way cooperation phenomenon where the boss has the responsibility for the provision of space and the employee is duty-bound to earn and learn. Dividends are remarkable, not for the individuals but for the organization. Keep learning, apprehending, and delivering. 

1. Clearly communicate your need for direction and feedback. 2. Be proactive, seek clarification, and document your work. 3. Still...If necessary, set boundaries and advocate for yourself. 4. Focus on solutions, build relationships, and continuously develop your skills. N.B- Always try to be Polite 😇Remember, a positive attitude is key.
