1. 9 SIMPLE STEPS ON HOW TO WIN OVER YOUR BOSS?
i. Find out what is important to your Boss and make it important to you. If
your Boss is fanatic when it comes to Deadlines, then do your best to get
everything in ahead of schedule
ii. Make note of anything that you and your boss have in common from
non-work related points to professional ideals. In general conversation,
find an opportunity to make your boss aware of your similar interest
iii. Agree with your boss more often than not, without compromising your
own values. This way, when the two of you do disagree, your boss won’t
view it as “disagreeing” but as a “different” outlook
iv. Look for opportunities to “make something happen”. Try to be as
creative as possible and volunteer to do what others don’t have “time”
to do it. Your boss will appreciate in the future
v. Do not bring out the gender issue when your boss picks on you for not
doing what you were told to do.
vi. Be as supportive as possible in controversial situations even if you really don’t
appreciate your boss’ behaviour. This puts you in a position to be honest with
your boss without seeming confrontational.
vii. Respect your boss’ time; do not stand at his or her desk when it clearly
appears that they are busy.
viii. Make your boss realise that his success is your success.
ix. Take some of your leisure time to help your boss when he is stressed on some
project work and do not have time for a less significant work.
