How to manage your Boss?

Time is changing and new things are taking place of old things e.g. Earlier, Organisations required Hard Workers but now they require Knowledge Workers. Companies have become more value driven than profit driven. Earlier, Lack of Communication was a problem but now Internet and Mobile have brought people so close that Over-communication has become a problem. People are more scientific than orthodox. They want to desire more, live more, love more. Countries were focused on saving their independence now saving our own planet is an issue.

In this changing time, we see that a new concept is bubbling i.e. Managing our own Boss. Nowadays, we should not only learn to manage our juniors but we should also learn to manage our own Boss.

Boss can be classified in 2 types - (1) Readers (2) Listeners. 

Reader type of Boss- He is the Boss who likes to have details of everything. He will see your Writing Skills to grade you for promotion. He takes time in giving his judgement. He likes perfection and devotes maximum time in Planning. He likes sober, simple and obedient employees. He acts according to facts, than imagination. You will easily find Books, Journals and Newspapers in the cabin of this Boss.

Listener type of Boss- He is the Boss who does not like to have details of everything. He only wants to know about the important things and that also verbally. He takes decisions quickly. He starts working without doing much planning and research. He likes dynamic and competitive employees. He will always concentrate on your dressing sense and oral communication. He puts his imagination in every work. You will easily find Television and Computer (with installed video games) in the cabin of this Boss. You can also catch him gossiping with people in his cabin.

See what type of Boss you have and work according to the expectations of your Boss. You will definitely get success much before than your colleagues.
