Talking to Your Boss Early

Sometimes a small problem can become big if you wait too long.

You are working in an office today. You see a mistake in the report you just finished. Now, what do you do?

Some people wait until the next meeting to say it. They think their boss will notice the problem soon enough. But a small mistake can become a big one in just two days.

Other people talk to their boss right away. They want to fix the mistake before it gets worse. This way, the problem is small and easy to solve now.

It feels scary to speak first. You worry about looking bad or making a mistake yourself. But waiting makes the problem bigger and harder to fix later on.

You can choose how you want to feel at work. Do you want a small problem or a big one?
