To stay in your boss's good books and succeed in your career, consider some dos and don'ts in the workplace:
Do:
- Understand your boss's temperament and work style;
- Be the first one to tell him when things go wrong;
- Be on his side, as far as possible;
- Respect your boss's time; and
- Give your boss credit when it is due. It rarely costs you anything.
- Give your boss surprises. Make sure you keep him informed about important issues;
- Be seen as a problem child who puts personal interests ahead of getting the job done;
- Sound negative;
- Avoid or deflect problem issues. Hiding can be effective avoidance technique, but once your boss realises what is going on, it is the end of your career progression within the company;
- Give impression that you are better than your boss, or more capable and enlightened than he is; and
- Shirk responsibilities. Treat them as challenges.
