Even the most successful professionals need support at work. If you need help, ask for it.
Before you go to your manager, try to problem solve. Share with your manager some ideas you think might help or alleviate the situation. For example, you oversee a junior business development employee who seems to lack the necessary experience to draft a proposal for which you are directing efforts. Consider inquiring with your boss if this junior employee could attend a workshop as a way to invest in their skills and knowledge for future company projects.
You may not have the answer, but share a reasonable possibility. You don’t have to know exactly how to fix or resolve the issue, but you should demonstrate that you have thought about it. Go to your manager with options for them to consider. Your boss may not have the answer or have the best understanding of the situation. It benefits you to come to the conversation prepared with some ideas.
Your goal is to find a solution that works for both parties. The workplace is a team effort. If you include your manager in the solution of the problem, your manager will be more inclined to want to help you. Figure out what the issue is before you approach your boss. Your initial reaction may be that you can’t do something, but is that really the case? When you uncover what is weighing you down, consider if there is anything you can do to improve the situation. Go to your manager with some ideas, and ask about their priorities.
Ask for help with your work. Decrease your stress. Increase your productivity. Be the best professional you can be.
