5 Tips To Impress Your Boss
4. Be their armor
Hierarchy exists in an organization so that bosses and managers can deal with work that is beyond the skill and ability of their subordinates. You can impress your boss by not pestering him/her with nitty gritty day to day issues. If you notice an employee of another department pestering your boss for a daily report, you can step up and say ‘Don’t bother John with that report, Amy. I can have a look into it for you’. In this case, you’ve become your boss’ armor and shielded him from looking into petty issues.
5. Be eager to learn
Bosses love it when their employees show eagerness and enthusiasm to pick up new work. You can surely impress your boss by showing the right attitude. “John, I noticed you were working on a long report that was due to the Board. What was that all about? Can I help in any way?” Your boss will definitely notice the spark within you and will be impressed. Who knows, you might impress your boss so much that he may give you a promotion over time!
The key to impress your boss is to cherish your relationship with him/her as a professional. Don’t take workplace battles to heart and focus on getting the job done. Easy to impress your boss, isn’t it?
