How to address my superiors (managers and/or owners)
Camila 26 de septiembre de 2025

We must be open to receiving orders and have the will to learn. No matter what experience we have in the field, we can always learn something new. We should not panic when addressing our bosses, they are not extraterrestrials, they are people with a position of higher rank than ours so we must respect this hierarchy and always address with respect, discretion and professionalism.
This does not mean that you cannot contribute ideas to improve the service, propose improvements in work dynamics or even raise some disagreement. This is, or should be, always well received as it adds value, as long as it is communicated with respect.
If I must serve the table where my bosses are sitting, I must do it as with any client, with professionalism! … and perhaps, with a little more attention, but without flattering or being too much on top.
