Coaching Q&A

 

When you have a problem with your manager, it's hard to know what to do.  For serious issues, like sexual harassment, action definitely needs to be taken.  But for more trivial matters, the best choice might be to just let it go.  At other times, upper management or HR may be able to help.  And if you do decide to complain, what痴 the best way to go about it?  You値l find some helpful advice for this tricky situation in our Spotlight topic: Should You Complain about Your Boss?

 

 

Can a boss also be a friend?

 

Q:  I知 not sure how to handle my new supervisory position.  Before being promoted, I was friends with my former coworkers, so I知 finding it difficult to tell them what to do.  I love being a supervisor, but it痴 hard to be as tough as my superiors want me to be.

 

In a perfect world, I would like to be both a boss and a friend.  However, I知 beginning to realize that to get things done, I need to be less of a friend and more of a boss.  I know I have to demonstrate leadership, but I知 afraid this will turn me into an unlikeable person.  After all, does anyone really like their boss?  Nice Guy
