How to make your boss like you

The November 2010 issue of Personal Money magazine has an article titled "9 Ways To Get Into Your Boss' Good Books" which I believe is very advisable for all employee to read, understand and practise in order to excel in their career.

The 9 tips to let your boss like you are:

• Make your boss look good
• Understand your boss
• Understand your boss' expectations and do more than is expected of you
• Provide solutions rather than problems
• Working independently on the job
• Make your time count
• Communicate with your boss
• Watch your code of conduct
• Showing positivism in your life and work

Beside that, the following are something usually done by employee to please their boss, but might not work at all:

• Trying to look productive but nothing is happening
• Making your boss look good in the wrong way
• Tripod-ding and apple-polishing
• Working overly independent of your boss

For detailed explanation of all the above points, grab yourself a copy of November 2010 Personal Money magazine and read through page 59-61.
