How long have you been working there?

If you are new and he is not sharing anything with you, the intention might be for you to observe things like the working atmosphere first. Meet your colleagues at break time, discuss with them, and gather the history of the company and its policies. Communication is more important for an HR position. If you could communicate properly, it will be easy to make your supervisor share things with you.

If you have been working there for a long time and he still is not sharing details, the issue might be with him. He might be feeling insecure. In this situation, it will be a little bit difficult, but you should not lose hope. You should find an appropriate time to press him to share things with you, like when he wants to go on leave or permission. You have to ask everything and need to proceed further from there.

This situation is normal in all departments. But it's a fresher or a new employee's potential on how he could overcome this situation.

Wait for your time and don't lose your hope. Be positive always.

Thanks.

I do agree with the points mentioned by Mr. Stephen. If you want to develop your communication skill, read newspapers, books etc., try to talk in English with friends and colleagues All the best.

As mentioned by Mr. Jawahar, you can enhance your communication skills by reading political news and case files. By doing so, you can observe how individuals communicate, defend their ideas, and navigate opposition strategies. Consider exploring analyst columns where complex topics are simplified into a single page using clear language for easy understanding. Remember, it's not necessary to limit yourself to English newspapers; regional newspapers offer valuable insights as well. Additionally, watching debates on news channels can also be beneficial.

Effective communication extends beyond the English language; your local language can also serve as a powerful medium. Successful communication involves delivering content with thoughtfully chosen words. It's about using language effectively to persuade your superiors and colleagues.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Dear Deepasatish,

I don't see this as a communication skill problem; it appears to be an interpersonal relation issue. It may be that the superior has not been able to judge your abilities correctly, or he/she has a fear of you replacing him/her at some point, or you are trying to outpace him too quickly.

In addition, your question is, why is the superior not sharing?

Before that, can you spell out what all your contributions are to support the superior in his/her goal achievement or task accomplishment for the day? Have you established the right frequency and gained his/her confidence? Have you taken over part of the superior's workload and relieved him/her for major planning and implementation tasks?

If you want to be a member of his team:

1. Prove your professional worth.
2. Give unflinching support.
3. Do the donkey's work and carry part of his load.
4. Do not expect anything from the superior but earn it through hard work and sincerity.
5. Play the game according to his/her plan and do not become a hindrance to his/her thinking and vision, even if you are smarter than him.
6. Respect his authority and position sincerely and show willingness to learn from him/her.
7. Do overtime to reduce his/her workload.
8. Remove yellow glasses and approach him/her as the captain, respecting that he/she has reached the position of a supervisor through hard work and perseverance.
9. Maintain cordiality.

Blessings,

Dear sirs,

Thank you for the reply. He is my first guru in this profession. I am ready to support my superior and share his workload. Unless he assigns tasks to me, how can I prove my professional worth? He is available in the office weekly twice or thrice. Even when he is here, he is always preoccupied and busy with various schedules. I don't even get five minutes to discuss anything with him. When I try to convey a message, he doesn't concentrate much on it. I want to learn more from him. I am used to talking to my employees freely, but he seems scared that I may not maintain confidentiality. Is it necessary to be crooked to be an HR professional? Kindly help me gain the confidence of my superior and develop interpersonal skills.

Regards,
Deepasatish
