You don't have to like and admire your boss, nor do you have to hate him. You do have to manage him, however, so that he becomes your resource for achievement, accomplishment and personal success as well.
- PETER F DRUCKER
In today's work wolrd, nobody makes it completely on their own. Managing up is just as managing down. But many people don't realize this. Instead, they waste time complaining about the boss and assume that they are powerless to change and imprve the relationship. If that sounds like you, consider this:
You Own 50% of your relationship with your boss and are 100% in control of your own behavior. And the way you behave towards your boss teaches him how to treat you.
1. Inventory strengths and Weakness
2. Build on strengths
3. Decide how you want to change your boss's behavior
4. Reward your boss for any signs of positve change.
Voice public and private support for his goals.
Simply his work by keeping him organized
Keeepalter for ideas that will save time or money or improve the workplace and pass them along
Tactfully volunteer to help him with tasks for which your abilities are stronger.
Let him and others know that you feel proud and forutnate to have the opportunity to work with him
You can't give your boss a promotion, a bonus of a piece of the business, but you can give him a lot. How do you go about doing it will play alarge role in your and his success.
You may not always get the behavior you want. When that happens, just keep cool and ignore it. Be ready with an assortment of ways to reward the boss when you get good behavior.
