Happy Tuesday! Is your boss "Just not that into you"? If your boss is not making you feel respected in your position or not praising you or paying attention to you, you're not in his/her good graces, which could mean trouble. Here are some top strategies for winning over any boss:
1) Step Up Your Game ~ What extra work can you take on? Could you arrive early? Dress more professionally? Make a list of three things you can improve right away? Still Stumped? Ask a trusted friend or colleague for their honest feedback.
2) Act Like A Star ~ Brownnosers or those in need to beg for self-approval need not apply. The last thing you want to show your boss is insecurity. Everyone believes a confident person can handle the job. If you don't believe in your value, who will? Position yourself as a strength not an asset.
3) Keep It Positive ~ no matter how tough or mundane the work day may get keep it positive. Always maintain a can-do attitude vs. a "that'll never work" attitude; enthusiasm will always make you stand out in the crowd.
4) Be a Fabulously Well-rounded Woman ~ having a full life with hobbies and interest, may not only attract a potential romantic partner and add some spice to your life, the same applies to bosses Mentioning that you are training for a 5K or volunteering at your fave charity, sends a strong message that you're a responsible citizen who is active in her community. It shows your boss that you are a well-rounded person who has the discipline to run a race and hold a leadership role in your community. This is food for thought for your boss.
