5 ways to say "no"

How to behave so as not to shoulder someone else's work and not to keep their jobs? Five correct ways to say the employer is "no".



"Is this job a higher priority than my other responsibilities and current Affairs? "


Ask the boss to perform a new task to the detriment of all other current Affairs. This will allow you to show your positive attitude, responsible attitude to their work and to make it clear that you are not going to put another burden on his shoulders. Don't be afraid to note the extent of their employment. Most likely the head will come to the conclusion that "puzzle" have someone else. However, if the boss will insist, at least you will have a ready explanation of why the other important things had to be postponed.





"I guess I am not the best candidate for this job"


Employees are often afraid to admit to his superiors that their ability to perform a particular job are limited. Meanwhile, the ability to recognize the limits of their capabilities only indicates that you are a responsible approach to the quality of the work and its results. If you actually consider yourself to be incompetent in any field, refer to the command of a colleague who is more suitable for this work. You do not "substitute" colleague, and only offer the best solution for the company. However, do not overdo it with the transfer of "scoring pass", otherwise the boss and colleagues will see you as irresponsible lazy.




"I can do it, but later"




If the only problem is lack of time, offer to do the job, as only a few get rid of current Affairs. Usually (especially if we are talking about starting a new project), the managers are very impatient, and there is a good chance that they will leave you alone and will outsource the job to someone else. You should not be ashamed of what your work schedule is Packed to the eyeballs.





"Your job is contrary to my view of the situation"


Sometimes the reason for the refusal to perform any work not in lack of time or skills. It so happens that the job is simply not fond of. The reasons can be different: perhaps the job you think is unethical, or solid waste of time, or do you think that the company makes a strategic error. Whatever it is, its position on this issue is to Express in a positive, respectful and avoiding accusatory phrases. Don't be afraid to Express their concerns. Offer an alternative solution to the problem.




"Can I be useful in something else? "




Another option to avoid unwanted instructions: ask the chief to instruct you some other job. In the end, your refusal does not mean that you do not want to work in principle. Just don't overdo it: too frequent use of this trick will give the boss the impression that you are trying to determine the scope of their responsibility.




And if you do take the initiative and choose what you would like to do one of those things that, in connection with reductions nobody was to perform, and reasons to try to hang on you something else the boss will be much less.





Just say "no"


No matter which of these five strategies you will adopt one, or all at once. Remember one thing: when applying any of them, your boss, most likely, will try to put pressure on you and make you take on extra weight. Stay calm and respectful. Politely but firmly let them know that you are not going to take on a lot more duties. It is important to clarify and avoid any possible ambiguity in this question.
