7. Managing Ambiguity

Sometimes, higher-level employees will be dealing with an issue that is totally out of your control. They may not want to tell the lower-level employees about the problem because they do not want to cause a panic, or they feel that it’s not necessarily for you to know. Yes, you might feel curious to know about what the big “secret” is. But you need to be comfortable with ambiguity.

Your boss probably has a very good reason for keeping certain information private, and you should respect that. Remember that 99% of the time, this issue has nothing to do with you and is frankly none of your business. So it’s best to stick to what you are being paid to do and don’t ask questions. More often than not, you may learn the truth eventually when your boss is ready to share it with the group.
