How to Develop an Effective Relationship with Your Boss?

These steps will help you develop a positive, supportive relationship with your boss

1) The first step in managing up is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust. Do what you say you'll do. Keep timeline commitments. Keep informed about your interactions with the rest of the organization.

Tell the boss when you've made an error or one of your reporting staff has made a mistake. Cover-ups don't contribute to an effective relationship. Lies or efforts to mislead always result in further stress for you as you worry about getting "caught" .Communicate daily or weekly to build the relationship.

2) Recognize that success at work is not all about you; put your boss's needs at the priority. Identify your boss's areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss's biggest worries; how can your contribution mitigate these concerns? Understand your boss's goals and priorities.

3) Look for and focus on the "best" parts of your boss; just about every boss has both good points and bad. When you're negative about your boss, the tendency is to focus on his worst traits and failings. This is neither positive for your work happiness nor your prospects for success in your organisation. Instead, compliment your boss on something he does well. Provide positive recognition for contributions to your success. Make your boss feel valued. Isn't this what you want from him for you?

4) Learning how to read your boss's moods and reactions is also a helpful approach to communicating more effectively with him. There are times when you don't want to introduce new ideas; if he is preoccupied with making this month's numbers, your idea for a six-month improvement may not be timely. Problems at home or a relative in failing health affect each of your workplace behaviors and openness to an improvement discussion.

5) Learn from your boss. Although some days it may not feel like it, your boss has much to teach you. Appreciate that he was promoted because your organization found aspects of his work, actions, and/or management style worthwhile.

6) Ask your boss for feedback. Let the boss play the role of coach and mentor.

7) Maintain strict confidentiality.

8) In your relationship with your boss, you will sometimes disagree and occasionally experience an emotional reaction. Don't hold grudges. Disagreement is fine. Get over it. You need to come to terms with the fact that your boss has more authority and power than you do. You are unlikely to always get your way

 9) Greet & Meet frequently over the time after office

10) Boss is always Boss!!!
