Do These 3 Things to Get The Boss To Love You!

1. Avoid office gossip 

Suzy Wech says office gossip can be fun, "until someone gets hurt or it starts cutting into productivity." To separate yourself from the crowd and to prove your leadership, she says you should avoid "joining in on the intrigue, especially surrounding the latest round of office politics."

"All you have to do is not take the 'Did you hear?' bait," she explains. "Look, I know it's human nature to gossip, but your boss will see you as superhuman if you simply don't."

2. Understand the meaning of T-M-I 

Being authentic at work is typically a good thing, but Welch says it doesn't hurt to have boundaries with the information you share.

"A little verbal restraint can go a long way," she says. "There are some topics that simply don't belong in the workplace, like: your love life, family problems and certain medical procedures, to name a few."

Welch adds that this doesn't mean you need to put a "privacy cone over yourself." But, she says it is important for you to understand that "bosses value employees who are grown-up enough to know the meaning of T-M-I."

3. Assume people have the best intentions 

As your manager is building a solid team, they're looking for employees who can earn the trust of management as well as their colleagues. That's why, she says, "your boss will love you if, in every single encounter in the office, you assume best intentions."

"That means going into conversations, meetings and projects believing everyone wants the best for the company and for you," she says.
