What to Do When Your Boss Keeps Changing
If you work at an organization where constant reshufflings are the norm, you may find yourself with a new boss every few months. Here are some coping strategies.
(1) Introduce yourself.
Each time a new manager is appointed, you need to schedule a one-on-one meeting with them and bring a copy of your résumé. Talk about your working style, your strengths, and your goals.
(2)Be accommodating.
Ask your boss (a) how they like to communicate,
(b) how often they want status updates, and
(c) how much detail they want in them. Then ADAPT your style !
(3)Focusing on learning.
Try to look at the prospect of a new boss as an OPPORTUNITY to learn.
Ask yourself: What can this person teach me?
(4) Check your attitude.
A new boss to get accustomed to is a challenge, but make sure you’re not wearing your annoyance on your sleeve. Channel your energy into making positive contributions to your organization.
