If You're Afraid to Confront Your Boss Alone, Get Help from Your Team


It can feel risky or even futile to share certain concerns with your manager. Perhaps they’re about a business policy or process that your boss is wedded to, or maybe the problem is your manager’s behavior or performance. Too often, silence prevails because no one on the team wants to speak up. But if you and your coworkers band together, you may be able to solve the problem. Try to bring up the issue in a weekly team meeting. If getting everyone in the same room at the same time proves impossible, your team members can try to schedule one-on-one meetings with the boss instead. And if that doesn’t work, consider approaching a skip-level boss together. Be sure to use “we” language in each of these conversations. There’s strength in numbers, and you’ll be less likely to be written off as a disgruntled employee if people see that you’re raising a systemic issue.

Adapted from "When It's Tough to Speak Up, Get Help from Your Coworkers," by James R. Detert and Ethan R. Burris

How to Innovate and Execute.

How do you meet the performance requirements of your existing business—one that is still thriving—while dramatically reinventing it? How do you envision a change in your current business model before a crisis forces you to abandon it? Innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan expands the leader's innovation tool kit with a simple and proven method for allocating the organization's energy, time, and resources—in balanced measure—across what he calls "the three boxes": Box 1: The present—Manage the core business at peak profitability; Box 2: The past—Abandon ideas, practices, and attitudes that could inhibit innovation; Box 3: The future—Convert breakthrough ideas into new products and businesses. This book solves once and for all the practical dilemma of how to align an organization on the critical but competing demands of innovation.

When You Discover a Coworker Makes More Money than You


Most of us don’t know how much money our coworkers make. But what happens when you do stumble upon this sort of information — and discover that a peer makes more money than you? Your first impulse might be to storm into your boss’s office and demand a raise, but it’s important to remain calm and consider the situation from your manager’s perspective. Perhaps your colleague has more seniority, more experience, or better qualifications. Think about your own performance and contributions, and research the salary range for positions equivalent to yours. When you do talk to your boss, say something like, “It has come to my attention that others make much more for doing the same job. I’ve been working hard and I love working here. What can I do to improve my chances of getting a significant raise at my next review?” If a big raise isn’t likely, ask for a one-time performance bonus or extra vacation time. If all else fails, it may be time to look for a new job.
