How would you feel working under excessive supervision from your boss? That personal space you once valued is no longer yours. Pressure for perfection will kill your motivation and career development, regardless of how efficient you are as an employee.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Before you started working with your boss, you enjoyed plenty of freedom to get on with your work. All of a sudden, all your movements are being observed, your work is under scrutiny, and you feel like you are constantly being assessed.<\/p>\n
However, you love your job and would like to continue working with the organization, but you have concerns about your boss’s approach. You want to ask them to give you some space and to explain that you feel uncomfortable being watched all the time.<\/p>\n
Here are templates for five effective ways to tell your boss you need some space:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDear [Insert Name],<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I’ve been working in your team for some time now, and I really appreciate the opportunities that this has brought me, in terms of career progression. I feel that now is the time for me to show that I am ready for more responsibility and that I am capable of working independently.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
In order to do this, it would mean that the way we work together would need to change, with you taking a less detailed management approach, relying on me to get on with my work and to report to you if I have any questions or need any support from you.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I believe that this would enable me to grow as an employee and to become much more productive. Could we meet to discuss this in more detail, please?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
[Insert Your Name]<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This template suits the situation where you want your manager to see that tight supervision isn’t necessary and that you would be much more effective as an employee if you could work independently or as part of a team.<\/p>\n
