Am supposed to share my monthly reports with two seniors (technical advisor and general manager), basically writing one report and sharing. The two have their ego issues, and each of them wants different reporting formats and all of them wants me to write to them and just copy the other. am now forced to wtrite two reports and sending to each separately which is so tiring and consumes time. kindly help

    Hello,
    I understand what you are doing through. Some managers carry their personal interest to the organisation and this affects the organisational... effectiveness.
    As a management specialist, I advise you to follow the organisational repotting format and channel. Ideally, you are supposed to report to the immediate supervisor.     more

    Sit with both and get feedback. Enough wondering. Thank them for sitting with you. Ask about your work and how it contributes to the direction of... company? Either you are a value or not!! more

    How about making reference to your jd and internal role relationship guidelines? It's not their egos but just them having differences between them and... venting them through other and/or junior staff. Discussing with your hr might help to straighten out lines of reporting  more

    When you so not finish their assignments, explain to them why: You were working on your various work reports for them. :)

    Dear Morris, while it is good to follow the organizational policy and communication structure,you need to understand organizational politics and... position yourself in a safe zone. At the moment, you might have to endure to maintain good relationship with the 2 supervisors. You could also confide in the human resource manager and share how you feel and the challenges you are facing.The HR will then give feedback to the 2 supervisors in an appropriate manner.Kenneth Massa,Practing Project manager. more

    Hello Morris, The situation you are in will continue to go on for a very long time if you don't act immediately! I guess you clearly know whom you... report to as be the organization reporting line, for your case who is your direct supervisor? technical advisor or general manager, it's ethical enough to send the report the one who supervise you and copy the one who doesn't supervise you directly! what comes after that it's just background noise that shouldn't stop you from catching sleep.  more
