Leadership
Generations
Continued from page 21
[usually] text more than email, " Sherman
says, adding that leaders should ask
their boss how he or she prefers to communicate.
" Don't assume you know, "
Bosché says. " See what they prefer so
you can customize your message. " For
example, some Millennials might prefer
face-to-face interaction over texting.
Different generations also have differing
views of off-duty socialization. " Because
Generation X was raised so independently,
they spend more time with
their families compared to other generations, "
Bosché says. " Many Millennials
don't have families yet, so they are more
likely to socialize with coworkers. " Thus,
a Millennial leader working for a Gen Xer,
for example, shouldn't be offended when
his or her boss routinely turns down invitations
to get together after work.
Despite generational variations in
communication style and other factors,
it's worth remembering that the basic
principles of leadership and followership
stay the same (sidebar, p 21).
Job satisfaction
" A different leadership style isn't better
or worse, it's just different, " Sherman
says. By adapting to the leadership
style of their boss, OR leaders can
bolster their relationship with the boss,
which will likely lead to better job satisfaction.

Managing Up
Continued from page 19
autonomy, you may perceive a boss
as being a micromanager, whereas
another staff member may think the
level of supervision is just fine.
* Seek to understand. Try to determine
what is behind the behavior.
For instance, a nurse executive micromanager
might be uncomfortable
with his or her own knowledge of the
OR, as was the case with Jacek's
experience. Once you understand
that, you can help the executive by
providing information.
* Decide what you can live with. Abbajay
says the most important question
to ask is: " Can I live with this
behavior? " The satisfaction you derive
from your work may make you more
tolerant of a difficult boss, but some
behavior may be unacceptable. You
may need human resources to arbitrate
the situation, and ultimately, you
may choose to leave the organization.
Success for all
Your relationship with your boss can
have a powerful effect on your career,
and managing up can help tip the scale
to the positive. ✥
