How to get along with your boss

In your career, you may have to report to a manager, the person you call boss.

1. Here are some tips to help you develop an effective relationship with your boss.

The first step is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust. 2. Keep timetable commitments (承诺). Never blindside (偷袭) your manager with surprises that you could have predicted or prevented. Keep him/her informed about your projects and interactions with the rest of the organization.

Tell the boss when you’ve made an error or one of your reporting staff has made a mistake. 3. Lies or efforts to mislead always result in further stress for you as you worry about getting “caught”. Communicate daily or weekly to build the relationship.

Recognize that success at work is not all about you. 4. Identify your boss’s areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss’s biggest worries? How can your contribution reduce these concerns? Understand your boss’s goals and priorities. Place emphasis in your work to match her priorities. Think in terms of the overall success of your department and company,not just about your narrow world at work.

5. Does he/she like frequent communication, autonomous employees, requests in writing in advance of a meeting, or informal conversation as you pass in the halfway? Your boss’s preferences are important. The better you understand them, the better you will work with him/her.

If you sometimes disagree and occasionally experience an emotional reaction, don’t hold hatred. Don’t make threats about leaving. Disagreement is fine. You need to come to terms with the fact that your boss has more authority and power than you do.

A. Do what you say you’ll do.

B. Value your boss’s time.

C. Cover-ups (掩饰) don’t contribute to an effective relationship.

D. Identify what he/she values in an employee.
