| Q. Dear Bill, |
| |
I just started a new job, and a colleague of mine decided to take a strong leadership role. Typically, I would encourage everyone to 'step up to the plate', however this individual’s tactic is to be 'bossy'. How can I diplomatically approach this situation?

| A. Dear I.P., |
| |
A great way to overcome this situation is to befriend this person. Get a sense for their personal objectives and goals; you may find out that they do not intend to come cross in the manner in which they have. If they continue to be 'bossy', rest assured that one of their managers/supervisors will also notice and bring it up.
~ Bill
