How to resolve differences in work styles
Take the initiative to articulate important differences with your boss and to clarify expectations about how you can best work together. Accept that it is your responsibility to make the relationship run smoothly, and identify any changes you need to make in your work habits to accommodate your boss's stylistic preferences.
For example, suppose your boss prefers to receive written summaries of important issues before making a decision, but you feel more comfortable discussing decisions face to face. In this case, you need to learn to prepare written summaries for your boss. You may feel that this effort takes too much of your time. But by making such an accommodation, you might be more likely to get your boss’s input on key decisions when you need that input.
