\"\"
\nWhen I was a small child, my grandmother would frequently call my sister a boska<\/em>, which roughly translates from Polish to English as being \u201cbossy.\u201d\u00a0 As a little sister, I\u2019m here to verify that she was bossy and still is.
\nEspecially when I\u2019ve had a particularly rough day at work, this memory sticks with me. I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ve had some bosses that I would describe as being a boska<\/em> – although for me, it simply means a tough boss.
\nDays spent working for a tough boss can be awful. I would guess that when you get home from work on a bad day, you fill the ears of your significant other with complaints and rants about your boss. \u201cThey just don\u2019t understand\u2026. I\u2019m doing my best\u2026 I hate everything\u2026blah, blah blah.\u201d<\/em>
\nThis can go on and on and on. However, endless complaining doesn\u2019t solve the problem.\u00a0 Often, it just seems to make it worse and drives everyone around you crazy.
\nThinking back to my sister, I learned to get along with her anyway. And if you\u2019re struggling with your own boska<\/em>, you may find that you need to relearn this same lesson.
\nWhen the day is extra tough, step back and consider the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Are expectations communicated clearly?<\/strong>: When taking on a new project or even a daily task, stop and ask questions.\u00a0 Make sure you have a clear understanding of what you\u2019re expected to do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Are you making the same misstep repeatedly?:<\/strong> Having the same conversation a few times should lead to a little red flag going off in your head. Chances are that your boss has noticed the pattern as well.\u00a0 Ask for their help and advice to help you be on top of your game.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. When something goes wrong, do you address it or make excuses?:<\/strong> No one wants to hear a list of excuses.\u00a0 When you make a mistake, acknowledge it. Take responsibility and share your plan to avoid said mistake in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Have you put yourself in their shoes?:<\/strong> Managing other people is challenging.\u00a0 Chances are the person you report to is evaluated on your performance as much as their own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          A boska<\/em> might be bossy, but somebody\u2019s got to be in charge\u2026and it\u2019s not always easy. The next time you\u2019ve spent your day trying to please someone you perceive as being a tough boss, challenge yourself to grow as a person and as a professional. Learn to work with them and fight through the challenge.<\/p>\n
