Raise your hand if you've worked with (or working with) a crappy Manager? Everyone's hands in the air? Thought so...
While the vast majority of professionals begin the relationship with their managers with the best of intent, sometimes the partnership goes off-track. Smaller stuff happens (1:1 meetings are cancelled (often), feedback becomes "blah," ghosting, etc) as well as bigger stuff (values conflict, behavior shifts, surprises, etc).
When patterns start and/or the relationship isn't working anymore, what are professionals to do? How can they stay true to themselves (and their careers) while addressing these concerns?
Glad you asked.
In this episode, Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry outlines his best practices for addressing both the "small stuff" as well as the "big stuff" when Manager relationships go off-track. Bottom line - this is hard, but the VAST majority of professionals are dealing with these issues each-and-every-day.
