How do you communicate to your boss that your workload is unrealistic or unworkable without sounding like another “whiner” or negative, complaining employee? Is it better to just keep quiet about it and muddle through? The clear answer is NO… you MUST give your boss feedback about the reality of your workload. Here’s what time management expert Mark Foster says about this: “Your boss has the responsibility of seeing that you are well-managed and properly tasked, and it is your responsibility to provide him or her with the information and feedback to do that well.” The key is to figure out HOW to give that feedback in the best way possible. Watch BossByte #2 and I’ll show you EXACTLY how to do that!
So… what do you think? Weigh in on this blog and give me some feedback. I’d love to hear from you! BTW… Many thanks to all of you who sent me some great words of appreciation and encouragement for this new venture. I promise to do my best to keep it filled with smart managment advice and lots of practical tips.
Jim,
I love your web site and video – you are the BOSS DOCTOR !
Keep up the great work…this is the sign of a GREAT leader.
Thank you for your kind comments! My web designer used a WordPress template for this blog. She recommended it because WordPress does a good job of updating their software and maintaining their templates. As for your aspirations to blog… I can only pass on the main word of advice I was given: “On the Internet, content is king.” In other words, provide good, solid, useful, practical, valuable content on your blog. That is the key to success! I hope this helps!
Sorry, I don’t. I am running the blog well under Explorer 8.
