A great-working
relationship with your boss sets you up for a success at your work place. When
it comes to any advancement or opportunity, he or she will reach out to you.
The reason is because you have built a great relationship with him.
Here is where the Hows come in:
How is it done?
Mastering expressiveness-
All of this
starts off with your facial expressions and body language. You have to have a
great smile when you walk in. In your mind, the why to the smile is because he
has given you a job. A great handshake shows that you are not any normal
individual. It means he has met the right person. In a way, it shows you are the chosen one to
run his operations. The greatness in the
handshake comes in the firmness of the handshake. You do not want to give the
fish hands or the flimsy handshake. The
firmness exhibits you have control in your actions. Hence, he knows your action
in the work place will do the talking.
A firm handshake tells what kind of man you are.
Managing emotions
After the period you get the job, you want to tell serious
things ain not-so-serious tone. Otherwise, he will consider you as a waste of
energy. He wants to deal with someone who is emotionally stable. Bringing in
emotions curtails the momentum he wants to move forward with. A question of “how are you?” is very
essential to know how you would manage yourself in his presence. If he is
upset, you know you must be on your game no matter what. If he is happy, do
your work as usual without the extreme perception of stress. Stay cool, calm
and collective. They will be very
impressed with someone who has the ability to compose himself or manage his emotions.
Realize that
any fear that arises is just a figment of your imagination. You must confront
that fear. Relax it is not a big deal.
Why do get bothered by something that you do not even know with a great
surety?
Calmness is what will help you win over the boss. Do not be like this guy.
Showing reliability
To
show that you are reliable, you have to be punctual. You can only be reliable
if you are there every minute. Being upfront will show you your reliability to
him. Let them know when you have to take off or not. Look at him in the eyes. The strong eye contact shows him you are a worthy
person to deal with. Reliability is
shown by the control you give the boss by bringing things in his knowledge.
Understanding
Personality
There are
bosses that have dominating personalities and they test you for some funny
reason. See it as a game. Play your best before you get knocked out. It is very necessary to understand his
personality. He may joke in a manner that you have no idea about. It can piss
you off if his humor is outside your knowledge. It can lead to termination.
Understand him and dominate his ways.
Having the right mindset
The right
mindset can be equated to attitude. Just
thing about the mindset, if you were to go out hunting for a deer, then you are
not going to think about resting. Full attention will be required. It can happen that the deer can give you the
run for your money because you do not have the attitude of a hunter, but of someone
who wants to slack off. When you are in
your boss’ presence, you want to get ready to work. The boss wants to see if you can do some
damage. Obviously, I meant damage in a good way.
The right mindset will aid you in operating in appropriate
way in your boss’ presence.
You need the attitude that “I am the greatest being alive
and have your back.” Understanding
things from his perspective is essential.
Look at my blogs on Attitude and comfortzone on hubpages.com as they are needed as basic
survival tools.
Seeing him as a normal individual
The common mentality is that the boss is someone who you should
fear because he is at another level. To my and your knowledge, we are both
flesh , blood and a bag of air. We do not need to put him on a pedestal. That
is why we cannot have a normal conversation with him or her. As we do converse with him, you must
duplicate his great communication skills because it will get you ahead in life.
The negatives presented to you do not allow us to confront going outside the comfort zone of building
the relationship with your boss.
