11 Ways to Make Your Boss Love You
7. Be open to taking responsibilities
Your boss will appreciate if you put your hand up and show eagerness to take up new responsibilities. However, be careful to not get carried away and only take up things that you can manage easily. Also, if your team fails to deliver the output, be open to taking responsibility of this failure and do not start the blame game.
8. Keep a smile on your face
If you always have a stern or serious look on your face, then you may come across as arrogant. Always try to keep a gentle smile on your face so that you come across as someone who is warm, humble, and can be approached with ease.
9. Be open to accepting your mistakes
It is extremely important to accept your mistakes without engaging into long discussions with your boss. Your excuses will only make your boss get angrier. If you know you are at fault, be brave enough to admit it and try not to repeat the mistakes.
10. Value your boss’ time
As your superior, your boss has more responsibilities than you. You must understand that his/her time is extremely valuable. Never be late for a meeting or an appointment and do not bring silly matters to your boss. Submit your reports on time and keep your official conversations and emails brief and to the point.
11. Be a team player
No matter how well-placed you are at a company, you are always expected to work well within a team. Learn people skills and be a good manager. Always keep your ego aside and know how to delegate well. Your boss will truly appreciate if you have the quality to keep a team motivated and in high spirits.
