Once upon a time, long ago, companies were run like big armies. Young new starts did all the hard work, while the top brass did hee haw.
Few ever moved up in rank and woe betide anyone who got ideas above their station. No-one lived happily ever after. The end!
Thankfully, most modern businesses offer a much more welcoming work environment.
And thanks to forward-thinking HR Managers and Assistants, everyone can develop skills and move up the ladder.
So, should you be worried about how much influence your boss has over your career?
We say no. And here are our top three reasons.
- Your Boss Needs You
The fact you’re here in the first place means your talents are required, so why worry? Worrying if your boss thinks you’re doing the right thing only distracts you from doing the right thing.
If there are any potential hiccups, you know you can discuss these before they become issues.
In fact, a confident boss will actively encourage you, as a much needed member of the team, to express your own views on how to address any concerns.
- You Are Your Own Boss
Always keep in mind this is your career, not your boss’s. So rather than wondering what your manager thinks of you – chances are you’ve not even crossed their mind this month – focus instead on bringing all your energy to your role.
- Your Boss Is Cheering For You
The MD of a company needs their employees to be happy and continually improving.
So rather than gunning for you, they will support every plan that can help you improve.
The flip side, and thankfully this is rare, if your boss is actually a pain in the bahookie, don’t worry yourself sick to keep them happy.
