Come with a plan, not just a problem. Instead of "I'm behind," try: "I'm behind on X. Here's what I can deliver by Friday, and here's what I need to push to next week." This shows ownership, not helplessness.
Transparency paired with a solution earns far more trust than silence followed by a missed deadline. Most managers respect honesty — what they don't respect is surprises.
The point
When you are behind, bring a plan along with the problem — transparency with a solution builds more trust than silence.
