Impressing Your Boss

When it comes to your job, you never want to feel like you are sucking up to your boss, but it is also important to impress them. After all, it is usually your boss who will be handing out raises and promotions, and it is certainly good to have them on your side. And in fact, it is by being absolutely genuine – and by not sucking up at all – that you can do the most to impress your boss. Of course, as you are being genuine, there must also be certain things that you are conveying through both yourself and your work.

All the steps you will need to take in order to impress your boss automatically become a whole lot easier if you are working at a job that you genuinely enjoy. And if you happen to not work at a job you truly enjoy, you can combat this by setting goals in your job. You will have something specific to work toward in your job is you set goals, and this will have the effect of making your job more enjoyable.

It will become much easier for you to start showing up to work earlier than you have to as you work this job you enjoy or work toward these goals you have set. Of course, it is not necessary for you to show up early (or leave late) every single day, but going over and above what is required is vital. In this way, you will be able to set yourself over and above all the other people you work with!

When it comes to impressing your boss, pay attention to one of the aspects that many people miss: actually listening to your boss when they talk to you. When you are at work, it can be easy to zone out the things that other people are saying. If you make sure you are always making eye contact with your boss when they talk to you, it will make it much easier to absorb everything they say.

You will notice that simply “doing your job well” is at the root of most of the things you need to do to impress your boss; as you do your job well, your boss will be more and more impressed – and the benefits will follow.
