thanx for the great post, I used some of your points today on my radio program. Before getting my contract renewed my boss spoke to me extensively about point number ten.

Dazediva – The follow-up thank you is what will impress your boss and you are right that most of us forget to do this. If you really want maximum impact, hand-write a brief thank you note and put it on their desk.

We’ve all fallen short on some of these points. The key is to keep trying our best. Thanks for commenting!

This a very well written post and I really liked the Zig Zagler quote.

The first point made alone is where some people go wrong – we take advice but often forget to thank the person giving the advice once we use it. It may be for the smallest thing or a large scale problem – but unfortunately most of us are losing our manners

My ex-boss was amazing to work with – I always felt that he kept me on par with him as opposed to working for him and that was a great confidence booster in an industry dominated by men (I’m an events planner) especially in India.

I reckon I’ve managed to implement all of the above points successfully except for some gossip talks – which I suppose is natural especially in moments of frustration !

Adam – Bosses do want to be left alone. Great addition! We all need to find the correct balance between keeping the boss informed and bugging him/her. Thanks for adding your thoughts!

Dustin – The complaining often hits a crescendo when people should be taking action. I’ve never understood this behavior. Employers want problem-solvers not troublemakers.

Surprisingly, in my job one of the top ways to impress my boss is to leave them alone. Don't get me wrong, they want to be included for huge problems but they just want to be left alone when it comes to the small things. They have too many other things on their plate than to be worrying about little old me. .-= Adam´s last blog ..My Call From a Debt Collector =-.

Great post, Jeff! I particularly like #11. It seems that too often we hear people complaining or even going so far as to suggest changes that the company should pursue. However, it's those that are willing to step up and IMPLEMENT a new idea who will emerge as leaders in the organization. .-= Dustin | Engaged Marriage´s last blog ..Want an Exceptional Marriage?
