If the manager communicates with you directly, and not with the help of managers, then establishing a relationship with such a person can be difficult.
In a world where small business is thriving, it is not uncommon to work with a manager, if not side by side, then close enough, avoiding various managers in contact. There may be one leader, or maybe you have to listen to the orders of two bosses every day, who sometimes tell you what to do without coordinating their assignments with each other.
A few of the rules below will help you get along with your boss and not become the scapegoat if something goes wrong.
Always listen carefully to your boss
Better yet, write down all of his orders. So, firstly, he will see your diligence and responsibility when performing tasks, and, secondly, you will not miss a single word and then you will be able to do everything exactly. If after that they want to show you something, your notes will be ready.
Do not discuss personal issues with your manager
As tempting as it is to learn as much information about your boss as possible, we recommend avoiding personal topics for one simple reason. In a team, it is necessary to maintain a distance not only between yourself and colleagues, but also between yourself and the leader. Discussing personal issues can lead to bias.
Avoid being too emotional
If during your conversation with your superiors something did not suit you or even outraged you, do not let your emotions surpass common sense. A manager is a person who solves issues in the company other than full-time employees, and therefore his seemingly outrageous assignment may be dictated by certain goals and objectives. Before you show your dissatisfaction, carefully find out why the boss wanted something that did not suit you.
Speak decisively about your work needs
If you need something to harmonize your workflow, don't be afraid to tell your manager about it. The boss, who works without managers, most often himself deals with the organization of the work process of his subordinates. We also recommend that you discuss important issues in person, and not put them on paper. Live conversation contributes to the speedy resolution of any issues.
Don't be afraid to suggest something to your boss
When an employee is in direct daily contact with a manager, it may seem that his initiatives are superfluous, because here he is - the one who knows everything and can solve any issue. However, do not forget that the boss is the same person, and your initiative will only show him that you, like him, care about the well-being of the company, even if your offer was rejected.
Don't let unnecessary responsibilities shift onto you
It happens that the leaders of small developing companies do not have time to replenish the team on time, and therefore new responsibilities fall on the shoulders of existing employees.
This can lead to the fact that, seeing your success, the leader does not want to take someone else into the team and spend additional money on the salary of another subordinate. As a result, your boss saved money, and you, most likely, perform a huge list of duties for the same money. If this happens, inform your boss about it and give reasons for your position.
