If your boss had to characterize your attitude, would you be described as a ray of sunshine or a black cloud? Some employees don't realize that they unintentionally project negativity. To become the employee that the boss can't wait to see in the morning, take these steps:
- Suggest Don't Complain - If you disagree with a new procedure or rule, offer alternatives and solutions not recrimination and a bad attitude
- Air Problems in Private - Don't challenge your boss in front of co-workers or other managers.
- Learn To Pick Your Battles - There are times when it's best to keep quiet and do what you are told. Not every battle is worth fighting. Winning can cost you more in the end than the battle was worth.
- Take Responsibility for Your Mistakes - Show your maturity by admitting when you are wrong.
- Be a Team Player - Give your boss positive information about co-workers or jobs well done.
