No job is permanent. So, whether you just landed your new job, or been in the same one for over a decade, it’s always desired (for your own sake) to keep reminding your boss of your value and why not, your indispensability to the company.
With simple and effective tactics you can wow your boss and safeguard your position. If you do it right you might as well get a promotion!
Ask questions
You’re not a psychic, you cannot read his mind about what he wants or what he would like to change. Asking questions ensure that you are doing what you’re supposed to do, plus it shows your boss it’s your priority to get things the way he/she likes.
Your Boss is Your Priority
A little effort to become acquainted with his/her pet peeves, obsessions and weak spots can go a long way in promoting your relationship with him/her. If they feel you take time to get to know what they want and that you try hard to achieve it, they will feel flattered, significant and you will earn their respect.
Save them money
If you manage to find solutions in cutting back costs, or proposing ways he can increase profits, (especially if this is something he definitely doesn’t expect you to do) then you will in zero time become his/her favorite employee.
Find ways to wow your boss
Go the extra mile
Be alert for new ideas you can help them improve business or increase sales. Make yourself indispensable by suggesting new ideas. If you happen to get some criticism, don’t get defensive. Rather accept it and inquire about the ways you could work on improving your work performance.
Speak your mind
Even if it means contradicting your boss. If they’re professional enough they will appreciate your honesty and courage to stand up behind your views, rather than passively accept an opinion that you disagree with.
Simply Excel
There must be one thing you do great, even better than your boss. Don’t mute itrather make it evident how this is your strong point. This will help you come across as a professional who’s efficient in what they do.
Good luck!
