Act early to correct a negative perception.
Chances are that at some point in your career, you’ll have at least one boss you just can’t seem to impress, or who tends to rub the wrong way.
This may seem unwarranted to you. But it’s important to remember that if you want to succeed in your job, it will always be your responsibility to adapt to your boss.So what’s the most likely cause of a perceived misfit? It usually starts with one event. You likely hit one of your boss’s “hot buttons”—their critical performance priorities or style imperatives. For one boss, maybe you didn’t spend enough time with company distributors.
Find out how they’d prefer to work with you, such as how often you two should meet, whether they prefer formal or informal meetings, if you should be reachable at all times by email and cell, and how they will measure your performance.Of course, not every boss may convey what’s important to him or her. So in addition to asking directly, watch their actions in meetings. Observe what annoys them. Observe what they praise.
