Building an excellent rapport with your boss is an important part of being a success at work. And those individuals who think that having a great relationship with the head honcho means “sucking up” are the same folks who wonder why they get passed over for big promotions year after year.
Impressing your boss is synonymous with doing a good job and being a productive member of the team.
Here are some tips for impressing the boss – and making yourself look great in the process:
1. Be positive. A positive mental attitude impresses management and also projects you as a person who is generally excited about coming to work every day. People who mope around the office and complain about their situation rarely advance through the company.
2. Be honest. Getting caught in a lie is an irreversible occurrence. Once the boss sees you as untrustworthy, you’re never going to be entrusted with any serious responsibility again. Even if the news is bad, always tell your boss the truth.
3. Be on time. Many people mistakenly believe that being late for meetings and work is no big deal as long as they get the work done. That may be true, but punctuality and perfect attendance help you stand out above the crowd.
4. Do more. The employees who get remembered come promotion/raise time are the ones who are willing to step outside their responsibilities and help out their teammates during busy periods. Innovation is also rewarded by the boss – so new creative ideas as to how to get things done should be shared whenever possible.
5. Give your boss strokes. Although it may come off as ingratiating if handled poorly, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with letting the boss know when they do a good job, or has done something that has impacted YOU in a positive way.
Remember, at the end of the day, it is all about GOOD ATTITUDE and HARD WORK. People who embody these qualities are the ones who build great relationships with the boss.
