Navigating a relationship with a manager you perceive as ineffective or unqualified can be daunting, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Rather than allowing frustration to erode your engagement and productivity, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over who you report to, but you can control the beliefs, assumptions, and narratives you create about the situation, as well as the impact of your behavior on those around you. A series of six steps can help you change the dynamic: 1. Reflect on what’s really bothering you 2. Own your part 3. Connect to your values 4. Reframe the story you’re telling yourself 5. Open a dialogue with your manager 6. Be part of the solution If, after having a honest conversation with yourself and your manager, you still believe they’re the core issue, it might be time to move on. #ManagingUp #LeadershipSkills #StarrAdvisoryGroup

A series of six steps can help you change the dynamic (excellent reflection questions embedded under each step): 1) Reflect on what’s really bothering you 2) Own your part 3) Connect to your values 4) Reframe the story you’re telling yourself 5) Open a dialogue with your manager and 6) Be part of the solution How can you reframe the situation into one in which you can grow and develop? And, if in the end you've tried these steps and nothing works, then consider what you next steps are that don't include that manager and do it from choice, not reaction. #mindset #reflection #poorleadership #selfawareness #career #choice #growthmindset #solution #dialogue #courageovercomfort https://lnkd.in/gZrrGWEh
