When you walk into the boss’s office and they are facing you, what message does that send? It says, ‘We both know who’s in charge here’. That positioning, that posture shows that the boss is ready, willing and able to face issues and solve problems NOW! When you walk into that office arrangement be prepared for decisions to be made, whether or not you like them. Managers who set up their office with a commanding posture have a clear vision for the future of their enterprise. Their decisions will fit into that long-range plan which can be confusing when you’re just looking for a short-term answer.
If you’re habitually frustrated by a boss’s decisions, then turn yourself around and look at it from their side of the desk, literally. It is like the Indian adage of walking a mile in a person’s moccasins before you criticize them. Consider what they are seeing when they are working, adopt their perspective. Face the same quadrant of the compass as your boss and see if you are inspired by the same stars.
