8 Ways to Improve Your Relationship With Your Boss
5. Ask for a feedback
This not only holds true about situations where you know you have done a good job. Be brave enough to face negative criticism and try to turn it into a constructive feedback. Seeking regular feedback from your boss will let him/her know that you are eager to improve your performance and care about your job.
6. Value his/her time
Know that your boss’ time is extremely valuable. Do not go to him/her frequently for matters that can be resolved without his/her interference. Even when you do go to discuss important matters, be ready with some solutions. Make sure you do not discuss office politics with him/her.
7. Focus on the positive
Many a times, it may become extremely difficult to keep your cool with your superior. In such situations, try focusing on his/her positives. If you only focus your energies on all that is wrong with him/her, then you will be the only one at a loss. It will affect your productivity negatively and irritate you.
8. Learn from your boss
No matter how annoying your boss might seem to you, always remember that there is a reason why he/she is at a higher position than you. If you display your urge to learn from your boss’ experience then it will help in strengthening your relationship with him/her. It will let your boss know that you respect him/her and are a keen learner.
