Bosses are likely to come and go during this time of upheaval in the world of work. Here are seven steps you can take to make certain your relationship with a new boss gets off on the right foot so there’s no interruption on your career path.
1. Don’t be shy. Introduce yourself to your new boss at the earliest appropriate opportunity. Be sure he knows what your qualifications and responsibilities are and where you fit in the organization. Remember, you won’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.
2. Learn as much as you can about his experiences and qualifications; his style of management; and his idiosyncrasies.
3. Understand his objectives and priorities.
4. Offer to help him achieve his career goals. Communicate by words and actions that you are a loyal supporter. Truth is he needs you as much as you need him.
5. Don’t assume that what you have been doing and how you’ve done it will pass muster with the new boss.
6. Be sure you understand what he expects from you.
7. Recognize that you have an opportunity for a new beginning in your relationship with the boss.
I wish you career success!
