How do you deal with executive gaslighting?
I am on my company’s SLT, I recently had a conversation with an executive that went something like this:
Me: I noticed a pattern of behavior where this thing happens and people react this way; example A, B, C.
Exec: I don’t think that happens.
What am I supposed to do with that? They keep saying I have the “agency to control my own environment”, but the evidence does not support that. I brought up systemic blockers that impact my (and my team’s) ability to do my/our job and they just act like they don’t exist. For context, in this case the executive absolutely does have the authority to address that behavior.
