How have you handled new leadership with a management style that isn’t working for you? I’m hesitant to step on toes in a new relationship, but I’ve had more autonomy in the past and I’m finding this way of working inefficient and sometimes frustrating as I’m spinning my wheels and wasting quite a bit of time.

I've handled this by taking a lot of deep breaths and approaching it with a degree of patience. It's possible that things could change over time as new leadership gets more comfortable and also gets familiar with your work. And if it doesn't change... management style misalignment is a very common reason for finding a new employer.

It’s better that the relationship is new because you can set the precedent now before they get too comfortable. Tell them what’s worked in the past for you and where you need more support and how you prefer to be managed. They need to know how to manage you and if it’s not working, they need to adapt. That’s a good manager.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
