You got a good job, developed relationships with colleagues, and found it easy to handle your job responsibilities. It's time to think about further career growth. And then an important question inevitably arises: "How to please the boss?"
Instructions
Step 1
If your boss shows you a cool attitude, it can be a serious obstacle to career advancement. You can make a difference for the better. First, pay attention to your appearance. It would seem that your external data can in no way affect professional relationships. However, the manager may be irritated by too strong a smell of cologne or too short legs on trousers. Try to look, if not impeccable, then at least neat.
Step 2
The next step is to get the manager's attention. Try to be in his sight more often. Be actively involved in various professional gatherings. Don't hide in the most secluded corner. If you sit across from your boss and start analyzing work issues out loud with a judicious air, you will surely be noticed.
Step 3
When you present your thoughts to the leader, be laconic, get straight to the point and speak in detail. If you find your idea valuable to the company, present it appropriately. If you say out loud your ideas as if "by the way," then they either go unnoticed, or the boss will remember them and subsequently pass them off as his own.
Step 4
Whenever possible, try to give your supervisor extremely good news. Constant bad news conjures up bad associations and damages your reputation. Your boss will get used to the idea that since you’ve arrived, it means that he has new problems. Better to let the secretary convey information to him. But if you get good news, hurry up to inform your boss first. Just do not forget to make sure in advance that the information is correct.
Step 5
Approve your boss's successful projects and deals. Praising a boss is as natural as praising a subordinate from a boss. The main thing is not to overdo it; your sincerity should be felt, not sycophant.
Step 6
Postpone talking about an extra vacation or asking for a pay increase if the company is in a crisis or a big rush. In such unfavorable moments, your problems and requests will only turn the boss against you.
Step 7
Take sick leave as little as possible. Of course, sacrificing your health for the sake of the company's prosperity is not worth it. Your boss will be sympathetic to your temporary absence from work for a good reason. However, do not abuse it, otherwise the manager's sympathy will be replaced by outright discontent.
Step 8
Do not be afraid to take on difficult assignments, be ready to complete even the most unpleasant ones. You will be appreciated for doing a job that was beyond the power of others. If possible, complete absolutely all the tasks that your manager has entrusted to you. If you give up difficult tasks, you are showing your own helplessness. You can even do what is not expected of you. The phrase “this is not my job” will definitely cause a negative reaction from the boss.
