Most people don't like to express disagreement with their superiors because they don't want to get into trouble. You can, however, disagree even with your boss in a way that will be beneficial for both of you. Moreover, it is desirable to "clean the air". Eight practical tips on how to effectively disagree with your boss were published on careerealism.com.
1. Express your disagreement decently
Refrain from any emotional outbursts. Remember that the other person will behave to you in the same way you behave ho him/her.
2. Don't get personal
You can reach an agreement much more better when you will speak about solving a problem, not by personal attacks.
3. Clarify what bothers you
Don't express your disagreement until you can describe specifically what bothers you. If you can't say it specifically, it doesn't make any sense to complain.
4. Offer a solution
If you disagree with something, you should also be able to say how to improve the situation.
5th Talk to your boss privately
Public disagreement with your boss can be very tricky, and usually does not lead to meaningful discussion.
6. Make sure you understand your boss correctly
Many conflicts arise because of inadequate communication and a lack of interest in understanding each other. If something seems strage to you, ask for details first.
7. Don't agree with everything
Your boss doesn't expect you to agree with him all the time. If you nod to everything, it will harm you sooner or later.
8. Consider whether the boss is not right after all
If you have already tried all the above steps and still disagree with your boss, do what he says, or leave.
