You're facing conflicts with your boss. How can you resolve them without harming your relationship?

1. Understand Issues

An issue in like a wildfire it starts small but has the potential to burn the whole forest and in this case your relationship with your boss, don't allow it to spread any longer

"Fire must be extinguished the moment it is lit"
the same principle applies to an issue you must resolve it the moment it became an issue. Before making any bold statements about your boss and his/her actions rethink and reconsider because a boss or any managing position's actions are directed towards the betterment of the company as a whole and not just some selected few, Now that you have reconsidered and reevaluated your bosses actions act accordingly; with a cool and peaceful mind and try to calm your boss before you start making any suggestions.

2. Open Dialogue

A open dialogue is a great way of sharing thoughts with your boss or subordinates, and is a great way to resolve any issues you may have.

In a open dialogue always try to be a active listener rather then a active speaker and try to point out the major issues first because sometimes one resolved major issue automatically resolves many small issues.

3. Maintain respect

As a good citizen of the country and a good employee of a company its your duty to show respect to your elders, seniors and everyone who deserves to be respected. An issue may continue for a week but disrespecting continues to be a life long issue,

"If you want to be well respected by others first you must respect others". Being gentle and respectful will benefit you in resolving any issues you may be facing with your boss or any individual.
"The only way to win someone is through love and respect"
