Winning over

At SOME point you will work for a boss who doesn't like you. You will probably won't be able to turn him or her into your best friend, but you don't need to! Trust CQ. CQ has been there hehe ...

All that is necessary is that he or she feels comfortable around you and respects your work. Here are a few ways that CQ wants to share with you =) ..to make that happen.

• Identify the task or projects that matter most to your boss and be extraordinarily productive in those areas. It will also helps you to master or be specialised in areas not liken much by others.
• Help him or her to overcome work related crisis. Your intergrity will somehow gives you the boost to motivate you to help your boss.
• Observe the work habits and style of his or her favoured subordinates. Do they have a casual approach? Or are they likely to communicate by memo? Follow their lead. Never ampu-ampu ok hehehe ..you will enter danger zone.
• Analyse why you have been behaving differently. Are you unconsciously replicating an unhealthy relationship you may have had in the past? Does your supervisor remind you of another authority figure with whom you didn't get along?
• Ask colleagues whom you can trust to share their insights with you. Listen with an OPEN mind.
• If your boss continues to rebuff you, arrange a friendly meeting with him or her. Tell him or her that you sense tension and want to resolve it. Do not argue or blow your top off. Ask him or her in what ways you are not meeting his or her expectations. Hopefully your boss is the impartial type =)
• Keep in mind that you can't change your boss. But you can change your interactions with him or her.

A well balanced communications and work relationship will lead to a more positive and productive output. Good luck!
