Before anything else, get an outsider opinion. “I recommend speaking to someone you trust in your team to understand their viewpoint,” says Button-Lynham. “Sometimes we make assumptions on behaviour and take things personally, which may not be the case. If this person reinforces your feelings, I always think the best way to tackle this is to have an open and honest conversation with your boss.”

When you do sit down with them, be sure to share your perspective in a calm way, giving examples to back their behaviour up as well as explaining the impact. Only then can you start to talk about what you would like to see change. This may feel like a scary thing to do, but it should have a positive impact,” she adds.

According to Ghosh, another surefire way to build managerial trust is to ask them questions and for their input when you need it. “Not only will this appeal to their ego a little bit, it will allow them to see you are putting in the effort to grow a strong working relationship,” she explains.
