Approaching your boss with a problem

Is there ever a perfect time to approach your boss with a problem? She's always busy and you don't want to bug her. You avoid asking questions. But then something goes wrong. Perhaps it’s a conflict with a client, a task oversight, or a delay in a key project timeline. There’s a problem that makes you wonder, “Is this an issue that I should bring to my boss? Or should I handle this myself?”

"Knowing When to Escalate Issues to Your Boss" explores the fine line between issues you should handle and those that are better suited for your boss. You'll learn when, and how, to escalate issues to upper management.
