It is important to know how to get along well with your boss if you wish to be successful in your career. If you want to ensure things are done, you usually need to win the agreement of your own boss. In winning his or her approval, bear the following in mind:
- Aim for a good relationship
- Be loyal
- Bring your boss solution rather than problems
- Meet deadlines
- Keep your boss informed when things are going right, and also when they are not going right
- When your boss makes a mistake, don’t rub it in
- Don’t be defensive. Accept his or her ideas and amendments to your proposals, if they make sense. If you are in the wrong, admit it. Better to admit a mistake than be found out.
- Never provoke confrontation in the presence of others
- Time your approach to suit your boss mood Make sure that he or she has enough time before you raise a topic for discussion
- Check on the precise terms of reference for any project before you begin it.
- You will get along best if you help him or her to succeed
