What do you do when your manager changes direction, gives unclear feedback, or makes you work without knowing exactly what's required?

In this episode of Yowab, Saeed Al Ghafri discusses dealing with a difficult manager and the difference between high expectations and a style that leaves the team working in a state of stress and guesswork.

A single question in a meeting can put you on the defensive. Priorities might shift, and then you'll be asked why the initial task wasn't completed. Over time, you might try to please your manager at the expense of your health and well-being.

The solution is to understand their style, demand clarity, document agreements, and provide updates before problems arise. And if the situation starts affecting your confidence and health, you need a backup plan.
