One of the most risky things I’ve said to a boss was during a performance review. I expressed my concern about a project we were working on, suggesting that the current approach wasn’t aligning with the team’s strengths and could potentially lead to setbacks. I backed it up with specific examples and alternative suggestions. It was risky because it put me in a position of challenging their decisions, but it ultimately led to a productive conversation and adjustments that benefited the project. It taught me the importance of balancing honesty with respect. What about you? What’s the riskiest thing you’ve said?
