The frequency of communication between an employee and the first person of the company depends on what place in the hierarchy he occupies. For some, it is regular, for others - in exceptional cases. Even if the reason for communication was a call to the office, this is not a reason to forget about self-esteem. At the same time, if the director is wrong, you should defend your point of view as politely but firmly as possible.
It is necessary
- - knowledge of business etiquette and courtesy;
- - self-esteem.
Instructions
Step 1
Whatever the reason for communication, one should not forget that the director is the same person as anyone else. And he can demand from you no more than is stipulated by the terms of your duties, corporate standards and the norms of the current legislation. The latter corporate culture may contradict, and in this case the unambiguous priority in this case belongs to the law.
Step 2
If you are the initiator of the meeting, try to briefly but succinctly state the essence of your question, possible, in your opinion, solutions to the problem, if it is a question of it, your proposals and arguments in support.
Otherwise, proceed from what the boss wants from you. Answer his questions clearly, concisely and succinctly, be ready to formulate proposals, make the necessary clarifications and adjustments.
Never forget that the director's time is limited, he has many important tasks that require his participation, he thinks at work, first of all, about business and from subordinates, starting with a cleaner and ending with his right hand, he expects the same.
Step 3
How to contact the boss depends on the standard adopted by the company. Even if there is a practice of communicating with the management on "you" (but on "you" more often), the first time to turn to "you" to a previously unfamiliar person will never be superfluous, and you can switch to "you" at any time, especially if it is the other side itself will propose.
Step 4
In any case, both the observance of the norms of politeness on your part and the requirement of the same from the interlocutor are appropriate. You have nothing to fear: those who know how to show teeth if necessary (but not abuse this skill) are respected in their souls even by the most notorious boors. In an extreme case, the best solution would be to search for another company with a more sane director.
