1. 3 things to make your manager worship you
Understanding expectation
Many of us get work from our Boss and completes the work within a week, but
surprisingly find out it is nothing close to what he wants.
Intelligent employees do a portion of the work assigned and takes opinion from their
superior to understand whether he is on track.
Many of us shy away from this as they presume (wrongly) that they will be branded as
“don’t know the basic job”. But it is other way round. The perception you will create in
his mind will be “proactive” rather than “never gets everything right.”
Quality on time
In current corporate world all work we do are interconnected.
If we don’t deliver on time (of course having followed the first step stated above) the
entire set time gets disturbed. Your Boss also might have committed to his superior on
the time limit of completing the job. Now we need to work for longer hours to honor the
commitment.
Also late delivery means we don’t get to do the last quality check on the work because
we didn’t have the time.
Completing the work on time means your personal brand is “you can count on me to get
the work done” rather than “never does anything on time so build in a couple of extra
hours to your daily schedule.”
Deliver bad news early
Most of us has mind block to communicate bad things to our superiors, as we afraid of
being branded as “crying babies”, and attitude like “we know better than you” makes
things worst and stops many of us to open up the issues pertaining to work with our
superiors. Here we forget to understand our superior has more experience under his belt,
and might have faced the same situation in his previous assignment.
Good employees, delivering bad news early means you are “proactive” and delivering
bad news late means your personal brand is “doesn’t understand the work well to know
when the project is in trouble”.
