Here's how you can assert yourself with your boss and navigate power dynamics.

One thing I have found helpful during these circumstances, is to find some common ground. Look at ways in which your skill set compliments your managers strengths.

Asserting yourself to your boss is crucial for your professional growth. To be well-prepared and confident, choose the right time and place, communicate clearly and respectfully, focus on solutions, seek understanding, stand firm on important issues, build a positive relationship, document meaningful conversations, know your rights and responsibilities, and seek support if needed.

Communication is key! Voicing your opinions and ideas to others and keeping an open mind when having feedback. Actively listening and using the right language to communicate your thoughts. Plus timing is everything.

I totally agree in it. Tone matters some bitter truth can be heard sweeter with sweet voices. I do want to add that being meet physical can discuss have greater impact then over call or zoom.

Ensure you actively listen. Everyone has a story and they want someone to tell it to. Knowing someone by them first name. Remembering a child’s name, pets name someone or something that means a lot to them, will help when building rapport and is the foundation to trust. Don’t make an interaction with a colleague transactional, make it personal.

I think building long term trust and totally adopting company as my company can give a long term result and also being trading company as child and taking that thing with us gives an aura of long vision and trust towards company. So I think it's a give and take relationship give trust and time to company so company can give time, satisfaction and money in return

Setting boundaries is essential for a successful work environment. During office hours, respect is paramount. After hours, it's important to see your boss as another human being. Balancing these dynamics will foster strong relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries.

I agree, but we have to be available when company needs us. And setting time table on regular routine is must. Which helps to make work life balance.

Don’t think of feedback as a negative, but an opportunity to improve and a reminder of your current baseline in that specific skill.

I believe that feedback is the breakfast of champions; without it, success is unattainable. Seeking feedback is particularly crucial in a remote work culture. Here are key strategies: Actively seek feedback from your team, creating a safe space for open communication. Ensure regular opportunities for feedback—monthly or at least quarterly—to keep the dialogue continuous. Approach feedback with respect and privacy to maintain trust. Implementing these practices will establish a strong feedback loop and contribute to building exceptional teams.

Offering solutions is a great way to be able to showcase your potential skills that are waiting to be put to good use. Speak up when you know you might have a solution to a problem. Let your voice be heard.

Great this angle of approach also help build rapport and also bring connectivity, confidence and belongings to the company. T
