Go the extra mile to ensure that you complete all your tasks and do more than what you’re paid for! Enjoy what you’re doing and ensure that your boss is well-aware of the extra effort you’re making. If you feel that you’re not enjoying, please put a stop at that work.

2. Listen and observe

Listen to your boss and understand his likes and dislikes. If you want to know more about him, just observe. Most bosses are concerned about the output and if that means working late hours, do that.

3. Communicate at the right time

Meaning, talk to your boss at a time suitable to him and when he’s in a good mood. Communicate with the boss at the right time at the right place!

4. Beat deadlines
