Posted: 26 Dec 2013 07:43 PM PST Having a good relationship with your colleague is very important. But if you want to advance and get promoted in your office, it is highly important that you know how to relate with your boss and make him/her happy. Your boss in the office recommends you for promotion and his/her impression about you depends on the relationship between both of you. This is why you should learn how to positively relate with him/her so that he/she will have a good impression about you and then recommend you for promotion. Here are some tips on how to relate with your boss. Be punctual and active at work Before you think of having a good relationship with your boss, you should first perform the basics which are taking your work seriously. No matter how good you are in behavior, your boss will not have a good impression about you if you don’t take your work seriously. You should always try to come to work on time. Make sure that you complete your daily task so that you will be on his or her good record. But if you are known for late coming or poor performance, you’re creating a poor impression of yourself before your boss. Understand the communication and relationship style of your boss Each person is unique in his style of communication. There are some people that want detail information while some want only the essential. Some bosses are not very active in the management of their businesses. Such managers let others do things for them while they sit and take decisions based on the findings of the people they hire. You will also find some bosses that are easy-going and down to earth with their staff. So, it is important that you find out how he/she communicates, reacts to situations and relate with others and then follow him accordingly. Don’t make excuses Some workers are always known for making excuses or giving one reason or the other for not performing a particular task or for poor performance. Such attitude is not good. It does not mean that you should not explain why things go wrong when necessary. But let it not be a recurring decimal in your office life. If you are known for excuses, you will not be given a higher responsibility because it is already believed that you will always find excuse for not doing it well. Do the extra ordinary Focusing only on your job description or doing the ordinary things you are expected to do will not make you stand out. You should always go the extra miles when working in your office. This will help to make you popular in your office. Always look for opportunities to set records. Do not always argue with your boss Some people think that they know it all and so they argue always and criticize other people’s opinion. It is not good to be arguing with your boss more often. If you think that you have a better opinion, you should politely put it forward as a suggestion or have a discussion with your boss on that rather than arguing or criticizing your boss’s opinion. Always apologize Make sure that you apologize to your boss when you don’t get it right. |
