don’t say to your boss – i don’t know – here is what to do instead

most bosses don’t like employees who say – i don’t know or i am not aware of this

this is what to do when you are given something to do which you don’t know

ask for time to research the answers

seek clarification – what exactly is the answer that they are looking for and if there is any team member(s) that you can take help from

suggest a collaborative team approach – where people with diverse experience can get together and solve the problem
