Boss management

People think, they know their strengths. But it is usually the other way round ! More often people know, what they are not good at. To perform better, it is essential that a person is aware of his / her strengths. And this can be achieved through- Feedback Analysis.

A smart boss will try to periodically give feedbacks.

So, one can produce results more efficiently, if he / she puts all efforts on their area of strengths.

Yes, simultaneously, one should try to develop upon the weaknesses and learn the ways of filling up the gaps.

In case of dealing with superiors, it is essential that one should know how one learns or gathers information. Some people learn by reading and some learn by speaking or listening.
If a boss is listening type, the subordinate has to tactful to impress upon the boss by speaking what the boss wants to listen...
And if a boss is a reading type, then art of putting things on file will be the ideal way of keeping the boss informed...
Well, all this I learnt quite late... wish Peter Drucker could teach us how to manage difficult bosses...
 Imagine if you are ready to sacrifice your peace, family life and personal comforts to contribute towards the development of the organisation, where you serve... And the boss says .. you are just not working..
Frustrating... No? So better, learn boss management fast...
