Great idea. If you have a reputation for making good decisions and having good ideas, your boss will see you as a trustworthy and reliable team member. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing tips as always Adriana! The overly narcissistic boss is not so fun, they think they are always right and can be quit manipulative. The boss who is a true leader, you can tell them your perspective in a respectful manner and if you genuinely want what is best for the company they will at least hear you out.
This is very true, Clifford. The boss who truly values the ideas and opinions of their team members for the betterment of the company will be interested in hearing an alternative opinion. Regardless, many people can still find this an intimidating situation to approach. Thanks for watching and for adding your ideas on how to disagree with your boss! Cheers.
Adriana, I love the sandwich effect, I start and finish with a compliment. Being with understanding, provide my perspective, then follow through with another positive suggestion. This is such a helpful video, Adriana! I have to agree with you, timing is EVERYTHING!
That's a great tip for how to disagree with your boss. The sandwich effect is a great way to ensure the conversation stays positive. Thanks for continuing the conversation and I'm glad you've mastered how to disagree with your boss successfully!
Great video Adriana. Your advice is very helpful as always. Disagreeing with your Boss can be awkward and difficult...it's knowing what to say and how to say it. Your tips are spot on. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Dal! It sure can be a tricky situation to approach but I agree, if you know how to disagree with your boss and come prepared with what to say, your conversation can be both positive and productive. Cheers!
You are right that this can be a little awkward but I think your point about asking for permission to share your point of view and also doing this in private are perfect tips. Thanks for this great video on how to successfully disagree with your boss.
Thanks for watching my tips on how to disagree with your boss successfully. Asking for permission really sets the tone for the conversation. I'm glad you liked this tip. Cheers!
Yes, private is best when possible. This way you can truly take the time you need and be respectful when you disagree with your boss. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Glad to hear that you'll be implementing this tip! Let me know how it goes for you, and if it makes it easier to disagree with your boss successfully (or anyone else). Cheers!
OHHHH I should have had this video years ago... usually my disagreements ended up on deaf ears and kept on coming up. Different ways to disagree can encourage your boss to listen better.
I agree. We've all been there where disagreements have not gone positively. I'm sure you learned from your experiences and would have a different approach to disagree with someone now that would make all sides feel respected. Cheers!
Lol, this is true! When you are really thorough and prepared and truly believe in the idea or goal you are presenting, it will make your boss want to truly consider it. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Cheers!
Oh no, lol! Thanks for watching my video on how to disagree with your boss. It can be a tricky thing sometimes but I hope you were able to learn some things from your experiences.
Yes, I did! I learned how to deal with crazy bosses, and bosses that refuse to do their work, and how to make them do it, as least the work that I needed done!
last tip - know when to look for a new job or stand up for yourself. Your bosses idea could be pure 💩 but since corporations are not democracies you have to go along with it. Some of these managers will try and put the blame on you when it backfires. Hold them accountable. If you don't you will end up getting the PIP anyway, may as well go with some dignity
Just say that you currently don't have the capacity to focus on the project... You'd appreciate it if more team members can be looped in to provide insights.

Great compact film with lots of great tips. I wish I'd had the composure to search for this info before losing my s**t... in the past... 🤐
Glad you found it helpful. Oh no! Sorry to hear it. Have you had difficult disagreements with your boss in the past, then?
Great advice! Now I wish I knew all of these back when I was still a journalist. 😆
Thanks, Lucy! Lol, did you ever have to have a disagreement with your boss that didn't go so well? Cheers.
Play the neutral role. Examine how they see it. Then provide your stances. Also be prepared to bail. Bosses do not like underlings opposing them.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your ideas on how to disagree with your boss. Stay well, cheers!
If you see that disagreeing nicely puts you on bad terms prepare to bail
last tip - know when to look for a new job or stand up for yourself. Your bosses idea could be pure 💩 but since corporations are not democracies you have to go along with it. Some of these managers will try and put the blame on you when it backfires.
Hold them accountable. If you don't you will end up getting the PIP anyway, may as well go with some dignity
