Get your boss to like you

The best way to get into the good books of your boss is to be a loyal, honest and efficient worker. It feels good to be praised by your boss. It is even better if your ideas are accepted by him or her and implemented in the company. Wouldn't you feel over the moon if your boss regarded you as a key employee in the company and implemented almost every proposal of yours? A promotion and a bigger pay cheque would be easier to justify. But how are you going to make it all happen? These are eight simple steps you can follow:

1. Make every meeting with your boss worth his while
2. Choose the appropriate mode of communication
3. Observe proper communication etiquette
4. Important topics and issues come first
5. Be constructive and inspirational
6. Provide alternative solutions
7. Bosses are not always right
8. Adopt an open and honest attitude

Many employees hope to get into the good books of their bosses, as they view it as a way to get promotions and pay raises. However, bosses value employees who possess "real substance" rather than merely perform lip service. To be valued highly by your boss or the company, you have to do it the right way.
