Impress Your Boss Overview
Aside from your partner, family and friends, your boss is one of the most important and influential people in your life and the person you'll probably spend a lot of your waking hours with. As well as having the ability to make or break your career, your boss can affect your mood, decide whether you are worthy of a pay rise or bonus, and generally impact on your overall happiness at work.
But the relationship with your boss is a partnership for them to value you and your contribution means that you, in return, have to make a real effort to understand the pressures and demands faced by them and do whatever you can to make their life easier. You can't just pitch up at the office, drink coffee, surf the internet and then get angry when your boss doesn't seem to appreciate your 'efforts'. If you're serious about your career, get serious about impressing your boss: he or she is going to have a hugely influential role to play in your progress up the ladder.
This booklet is written by professionals with too-many-years-to-admit-to experience of career development. It gives you clear, straightforward and practical guidance on how to impress your boss, providing you with the 'essentials' you need to make a real difference.
