We all want to work with creative, energetic managers and leaders who have \u0623\u0641\u0643\u0627\u0631\u00a0\u0625\u0628\u062f\u0627\u0639\u064a\u0629<\/a> innovative ways to solve problems and tackle crises. Numerous <\/span><\/p>\n

studies and research have shown that working with creative leaders can boost employee productivity, help an organization achieve its goals, and keep it on the right path <\/span><\/p>\n

toward success. But it has its upsides and downsides\u2014especially if you work with a manager who comes up with lots of ideas in quick succession, changes their mind, and makes decisions <\/span><\/p>\n

all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

But working with them can be incredibly confusing, leaving you feeling unsettled and constantly on edge, because you<\/span><\/p>\n

may have to stop working on projects and tasks you\u2019ve put a lot of effort into so you can take on something entirely new. Here are some <\/span><\/p>\n

helpful strategies for working with a manager who has a constant flow of creative ideas and keeps changing their mind and making new decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to get involved in every idea<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a skilled and energetic employee, your manager may expect you to get involved in the new idea they propose. But in reality, someone <\/span><\/p>\n

who is constantly coming up with ideas and changing their mind is impossible for you or any other employee to keep up with. The best way to handle this <\/span><\/p>\n

is to tell your manager that their new idea is great, but that you\u2019ll work on it later if you have time, or add it to a list<\/span><\/p>\n

Your tasks as soon as you finish what you\u2019re working on now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, when your manager keeps coming up with new ideas, all they want is to make sure you\u2019re happy with the idea and acknowledge how great it is. But you don\u2019t<\/span><\/p>\n

necessarily have to get involved in every idea, so you can stay focused, keep things under control, and avoid spending a lot of effort on several fronts with little to show for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Set the duration<\/span><\/h2>\n

Managers who have a constant flow of ideas often struggle to estimate how long it will take to implement them and overlook the time involved. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you find your manager working hard on a new idea that will take a long time, help them estimate how long it might <\/span><\/p>\n

take to work on it. For example, tell them it will require 20 hours of staff time and 15 hours of management time.<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep the team\u2019s work on track.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you explain how long it will take to work on the new idea, your manager may be shocked at first, but over<\/span><\/p>\n

time, they\u2019ll realize that it\u2019s difficult to work on it right now and that it needs to be planned carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Return to the main plan<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your boss gets distracted by new ideas, they may struggle to set priorities. Instead of dropping the idea you\u2019re working on\u2014or have already started\u2014to pursue another one, <\/span><\/p>\n

remind them that you have a plan for achieving your organization\u2019s goals. Ask questions <\/span><\/p>\n

such as, \u201cHow do you see this new idea fitting with our current goals?\u201d If we start working on the new idea, will we have to postpone work on <\/span><\/p>\n

Should we continue with our current projects or stop working on them? Can we come back to the new ideas later?<\/span><\/p>\n

By explaining how working on a new idea would affect existing ideas and the plan for achieving the company\u2019s goals, you can help your manager <\/span><\/p>\n

weigh the options, identify what matters most and what the team needs to do as soon as possible, and decide what can be postponed.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Focus on mutual respect<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the creative ideas your manager constantly suggests, you\u2019re probably practical and dependable. But if you\u2019re not careful, <\/span><\/p>\n

your manager and colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid this trap. Instead, respect everyone and try to involve them in completing tasks, even if you\u2019re the only one who can get them done quickly and accurately. There\u2019s no <\/span><\/p>\n

need to announce that or brag about it in front of everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, it\u2019s worth noting that working with a manager who has a constant stream of ideas, changes their mind, and makes different decisions from time to time can be<\/span><\/p>\n

motivating or confusing. But by using the four strategies mentioned above, you can make the most of the situation and reduce the amount of <\/span><\/p>\n

stress and frustration you and the rest of the team experience because of your manager\u2019s confusing behavior.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
