Visionary bosses can be exciting, innovative and fun to work for. But they can also be overwhelming when they overdo it. Bosses who want to pursue a new idea every five minutes are difficult to keep up with, especially if the execution is unrealistic. Instead of getting overwhelmed or frustrated with them, take it as an opportunity to manage up. The next time your boss pitches a bunch of new ideas, try to redirect their attention back to the team’s monthly and quarterly goals. Ask them where these ideas fit in and how much time they would take to execute. It's a gentle way to help your boss put the team's priorities into words and assess things from a more strategic perspective. Remember: be thoughtful as you approach these conversations. Sometimes, your boss might just want to share what's on their mind and will be satisfied by your acknowledgement. A good rule of thumb is to wait until an idea is brought up a few times before taking any action.
