Have you ever heard the saying “You are so right, you are wrong.” If not, I may have made it up to explain why even though you should not “kill the messenger”, often people do.
When a high performer is confronted with a
manager that she or he thinks is not doing things correctly (or is not very
good) they may call them out on it. This
can be extremely productive if the high performer gets along with the manager,
the manager is mature and the feedback is focused on positives for praise first
and then points of improvement for growth.
This can also get really ugly really quickly and lead to the high
performer getting fired.
So, if you are a high performer get along
with your boss, find things in common, make peace and stay and make it work and
help each other grow or find another position (in or outside the company) and
leave on good terms. Remember,
messengers do get killed. Don’t burn
bridges or get fired unnecessarily.
Control yourself so you win. Hope
this feedback helps.
