Dealing with a difficult boss can be taxing on a salesperson. And it can negatively impact the path for success at your company. Steve shows us how to look at the challenge of the situation as an opportunity.
Difficult Bosses Come in Many Varieties
Non-existent. Ever-present. No coaching. Overcoaching. They create the environment that you need to perform in. And the bottom line is, they are your authority. Honor their authority. Your role is to find a way to succeed within that environment.
Opportunities for Transformation
You can’t fix your boss. But YOU can effect the change to the environment you are selling in. You can set the boundaries you work within. You can find the resources to help you overcome obstacles presented by your difficult boss. Demonstrate positivity in pursuing your goals amidst these difficult circumstances.
Courage, Creativity, and Positivity
If you can harness the courage to succeed in this environment, you will grow as a salesperson. Navigating the environment requires some creativity. And positivity. When dealing with a difficult boss, these tools will help you transform your environment. Even if it means recognizing that the environment will never be a successful one for you.
So if this is something you’re working through and need some advice, reach out to us. We’d be happy to be the resource to help you through this situation.
