Communication with superiors is often a psychological stress. Moreover, when a situation arises in which you need to object to the director. For example, express your disagreement with an idea or new work schedule. But sometimes it is simply necessary to do it. At the same time, it is very important to “feel the moment”.
Instructions
Step 1
First, don't be afraid to argue with the director. He is also human, just like you, and can be wrong. Remember that bosses do not respect insecure subordinates who are unable to express their opinion. Of course, this does not mean that you need to start an argument for any reason.
Step 2
But keep in mind that if the situation is tense, the boss is clearly out of sorts and is not inclined to a constructive dialogue, then it is best to listen to his opinion, take note of it and take it into account for the future, including when preparing your objections.
Step 3
In the coming days, try to choose a more appropriate moment and then express your point of view. Although, if the issue needs to be resolved immediately, then you will have to speak in any case.
Step 4
Remember not to object if your opinion is not supported by any arguments. You need to have enough arguments before talking to your boss. Be clear about what you disagree with, and be sure to suggest what you think is the best option. You can write a rough outline of the conversation. Business etiquette also requires you not to say too much, so try not to stray too far from the main topic. You must be as constructive as possible.
Step 5
Try to contain your emotions. In a tense situation, remember the rule of counting to ten. Your speech should be confident. Use less gestures and do not raise your tone of voice. Never interrupt the director, even if you fundamentally disagree with what he says.
Step 6
Have these conversations face to face. Ask to schedule a personal meeting with you. In no case do not burst into the office on your own and do not start arguments in the presence of the rest of the team.
Step 7
Emphasize that you are acting in the best interests of the company. Emphasize this in the conversation. Try to convince the director that your objections are not groundless. But be prepared for rejection.
Step 8
Consider the personal characteristics of your manager as well. If the director reacts painfully to any "no" or does not accept them at all, change your tactics. Stand up for your speech not in the form of an objection, but in the form of proposals on a particular occasion. Conduct the conversation in a positive way.
Step 9
If you see that your ideas do not find a response in the bosses, but you are sure of their correctness, come back to this a little later, when the situation changes or becomes somewhat clearer, giving you additional arguments.
