Understand Clearly How Your Boss Prefers To Receive Information by BrandSpurNG: 9:13pm On Oct 03, 2018 |
I once had a Boss, let’s call her Boss A. She preferred information in a mail, even after you had communicated verbally. You had to give her updates via emails as well. With her, if it’s not written, it did not exist. Another Boss, Boss B preferred you discussed information regarding work with her and only the important information worthy of note via mail. If you wanted her to look through any document, you had to speak with her first on the details, print the documents out hardcopy style for her perusal. That was what worked with her. While for a Boss C, He was only interested in the summaries, and serious issues that you could not handle. With him, he only needed you to do your job and escalate when you notice things might likely go awry on a job. With these 3 different Bosses A, B & C as a case in study, Boss A was the ‘mail Boss’. Boss B was the ‘relational and then mail’ type, while Boss C was the ‘get to the point, summarize, call me when you need me’ kind of boss. Now imagine that I was printing Hardcopy documents to Boss A, the mail Boss. Or that I was sharing formal emails with Boss B, the relational Boss and that I was updating Boss C the ‘summarize it Boss’ on every detail of my work. There sure would be a Hurricane Tsunami & Katrina at work! There is a way your boss prefers to receive information and process them. Understand his style and work with it. Your Boss could burst into the office on Monday morning asking you questions about Friday tasks and expects you to have answers to them, another boss will come in and settle down, then call you for a meeting on task updates. Your ability to understand how your boss prefers to receive information will put you ahead of other employees and away from worries. Understand and Master your Boss’ Communication Style. Understand what works with your Boss and align accordingly. That is Emotional intelligence. Let’s discuss this, drop your comments below… SOURCE: https://brandspurng.com/understand-clearly-how-your-boss-prefers-to-receive-information/ 8 Likes 3 Shares

In as much as it's great to communicate with everyone the way they want, it's also best to develop a CYA (Cover Your Ass's) when you dealing with your bosses. Always remember whatever is not written doesnt exist , we are all humans and we can forget things easily or sometimes deny things when it goes wrong. So a boss that forgot something you discussed verbally will have you to blame. What I always do that work for me back in the days and even now with customers is once I discuss details with you. I either send you a mail, a chat or text of our conversation , Just incase we do website designs and digital marketing 5 Likes |

I think this is apply mainly to people who works for corporate organization..... As a federal government staff, I do my own u do your own..... Which one be boss. Nothing piss me off like working under a wicked female boss who is divorced, she see every male as prey to deal with, she will think your survival depends on her, u will even think you are the cause of her bad Marital life cos of the way she treats u......

I am the "Boss C" kind of person. Some bosses may not have any of the traits mutually exclusive, it depends on how delicate the matter is. |

Yea I think mine is the relational/verbal kind. But I have everything written somewhere just incase. |

Boss C is the best type and brings out the best in his team... Micromanaging as depicted in the characters of Boss A & B only kills creativity |
Re: Understand Clearly How Your Boss Prefers To Receive Information by Jorian1(m): 3:52pm On Oct 04, 2018 |
It all about personality trait. Boss A is melancholy She loves details and she like arranging her stuffs and schedule alone. Boss B is sanguine She talking and interacting. She prefer fast stuffs and comprehend easy if discussed Boss C is choleric Hate detail, not always having time because he loves multitasking on different project. Always intelligent so he can use your summary to do the project. But he will always call to get more info if he meets resistance.. It all about personality traits |
