My Consultant Used To Be My Boss - How Do I Deal With This?
I'm in a situation where one of my company's consultants is my former boss - at the same company. Although we had and continue to have a good working relationship, we don't always agree on some of the "marketing rules." (I think the difference in our techniques are primarily generational as I am 30-something and he is 60-something.) Because of the prior relationship, my boss frequently says "See what Kent thinks about this..." when I present anything that doesn't fit neatly into our corporate box. It usually ends up in a compromise, even though I supposedly have the "ultimate final decision." It's a frustrating and defeating situation that is taking its toll on my creative energy. Any suggestions?
