Want to disagree with your boss and stay on their good side? Here’s how to do it
Have you ever had your boss excitedly present a GREAT idea to you… but you don’t think the idea is all that great? For the sake of your organization, it’s always important to share WHY you don’t think a given idea will work and what alternative ideas you have. But how do you disagree when it’s your BOSS you’re up against?
It’s actually quite easy, and it’s only intimidating if you choose to view it in such a way. Throughout my 20+ years in business, I’ve disagreed with bosses and clients alike. Knowing how to disagree in ways that don’t hinder your career or the success of the organization is key to staying respectful and productive. Today, I’m going to tell you just how it’s done.
I’ll answer your questions about:
- How you must prepare BEFORE you present your disagreement
- WHEN is a good time to disagree with your boss?
- The question you need to ASK your boss before you disagree
- What to do if your boss DOESN’T like your idea
There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with your boss. In fact, presenting a different opinion can be both productive and beneficial to the company. Things would be disastrous in business if everyone simply went with the first idea presented and never questioned the decisions being made. All you have to do is learn the right way to disagree, so that you WOW your boss and add value to the organization you work for.
