Bossophobia
Everyone wants to achieve bigger things at their workplace, to do that you must conquer fear of your superiors. Your fear makes you weak, vulnerable and crushes your creativity. Therefore, to help you overcome the fear of your boss we have a few tips for you.
Always volunteer to interact with your boss. This may be uncomfortable at first and it needs efforts but it’s worth the effort. Even if you don’t get to meet your superiors, make sure you reach out to them in all possible professional ways.
Whenever you get a chance, make sure you share your ideas with your boss and if possible explain with examples. This may sound cliché but it certainly works! Practice this repeatedly and break down the fear that slows you down.
Never take anything at workplace personally as it’s quite common to have a bad meeting with your boss. That’s when you must humanize. Your boss’s behavior at that point of time is probably a side effect of something else in his/her life.
Your superior may not be always right and when you have a different thought be ready to express it. It’s vital to note that a good boss will always agree with you, if he/she feels it will work in favor of the organization.
Experience is the best teacher – when you make a mistake, it is certainly all right to forgive yourself and ensure not to repeat it. Always stay positive at your workplace.
Work-hard just like your boss. If you feel you need to work beyond your work time to accomplish something remarkable, take that call and prove yourself to others. This will earn an open appreciation from your boss.
Studies show that an employee with fear proves to be less productive. Therefore, it’s important that you stop being scared of your superiors and focus on being successful at work.
