Proven Small Business Ideas&Opportunities

Question by Billy Shat: How do I deal with a boss that has unrealistic goals for me?
Earlier this year, my boss laid out 8 major goals for me. In and of themselves, all were attainable. However, each month there are one or two “fires” that come up that he puts me on to solve. In July, I started working an extra 3-4 hours a day to dedicate to my goals, but this time gets filled quickly by extra work that he serves up for me to do. Unfortunately, he grades his employees success by how many documented goals that get accomplished, and does not consider the extra assignments in the overall review.

Ideas?

Answer by Steve G
Work goals are (or at least should be) negotiable, and should be re-evaluated as the year progresses. I suggest talking to your boss. Tell him that with the extra things that have come up you are concerned that you will no longer have time to meet your goals. Keep it positive; avoid a complaining attitude. Come to the meeting with a plan to get the most important things done, and perhaps suggest dropping one of the goals.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the fires that pop up (and this happens to most everyone) are often not as important as they seem at the time. Find some time management system that works for you; I suggest reading about several, because different systems work for people with different styles. Beware of things that are urgent but not important. Learn to say no to those things.

If you have these thoughts, you’re a step ahead of the big mass, who struggle everyday with a 9-5 job, to make someone else rich, coming home to dinner and then it’s TV time until they fall asleep. Only to get up the next morning and repeat the same well known, safe and sound route.

It’s nearly impossible to grow as a person, dreams of success can not be realized, when life is lived in a safe and sound comfortable route.It’s so easy just to do the same thing everyday. It’s risk free and convenient to do the same thing everyday. (more…)
