Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with.

Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course,

not all bosses are like that.

The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up

the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you

do

the

job

you

are

paid

do.

can

inform

you

of

company

direction

that

may

affect

your

professional development.

Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He

needs

your

feedback

in

order

to

provide

upper

management.

you.
