Because your boss is always right

In most of the conversations you have in your life, there’s an exchange of ideas. The person you’re talking to listens to what you have to say and you listen to what they have to say. You may agree, you may disagree, but you learn from each other.

In the conversations you have with your boss, it’s very different. Whatever she says is right. If you disagree, she listens to what you have to say, then tells you why you’re wrong.

It’s peculiar. You’re both intelligent people with a lot of experience and a lot to contribute to the conversation, and yet one of you is always right and the other always wrong.

You’ve given up disagreeing with your boss.
