Admittedly, this takes some great skill, and some bosses are never going to admit you're right no matter what you say or do. You need to understand this going in. However, these tactics might just give you a fighting chance with the boss who at least has half a heart and isn't totally insane.
1. Do Your Homework - The first thing you have to do is understand the nature of the work related task and the problem surrounding it. The more information you have, the better armed you will be. No, you can't fake this...which means...you have to know your job. If you don't, you might be better off leaving in the first place.
2. Think Like Your Boss - Okay, this is not easy for some people. But you have to get inside of the head of your boss. You need to understand what makes him tick. Why does he think like he does? Why does he run the office the way he does? Find out what's important to him. Play to his wants and desires and then turn them around to get what YOU want.
3. Prepare For No - Be prepared for your boss to say no. It's going to happen. Not every idea you come up with is going to be a winner. Accept his no professionally and don't be confrontational about it.
Ultimately, what this is going to do, regardless of how it turns out is that it's going to help diffuse the volatile relationship that you two have. Do this enough and you just might find that things start to get back to normal. That's of course if they ever were.
If this fails and it looks like the axe is going to fall or you just can't hack the job anymore, check out the site below to find out how you can make the best of a bad situation.
Throw Down The Challenge
This takes a lot of guts and can blow up in your face. But...if it works, you'll finally get the piece at the job that you have always wanted. Yeah, it's kind of an all or nothing proposition, but as a last ditch effort, it can pull your backside out of the fire.
1. Preparation - First thing you have to do is prepare. Let's say you want to implement a new security protocol. What you need to do is completely map out the plan. You need to be able to walk into your bosses office and say "here it is" and present it with confidence. Make it obvious that you've really worked hard on it.
2. Throw Down The Challenge - Tell you boss that IF he allows you to go ahead with this plan and it doesn't work out, you'll leave. You won't give your boss any problems and you'll go quietly.
Now, here's what you need to understand about this situation and when to use this tactic.
At this stage, your boss should be pretty close to actually firing you or driving you crazy enough to leave, so while it is an all or nothing proposition, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. You're one foot out the door either way anyway. So this is your “Hail Mary”.
Believe it or not...it works more times than it doesn't IF you have your plan well thought out.
In other words...if you don't REALLY know your job...don't try this.
