25 WAYS TO MAKE
YOUR BOSS HAPPY
Understand the Vision & Mission1
Align and channel your
priorities to the Vision

organization
Take Ownership2

“That’s not my problem”,
“That’s not my job” or
“I’m not paid enough to do this”

Be a Leader6
Leaders aren’t necessarily those who are
in charge and you can be a leader for a
particular area, situation, project or task
Stay Organized7
Getting organized and finishing little projects
you've started is an important first step toward
achieving larger goals. If you can't get
organized on small things, how will you ever
get it together to focus on the big things?

marketplace and larger world shows you
have your eye on the big picture and is
knowledgeable of the current scenario
Save the Company Money10
Keep an eye open for cost-cutting
measures and unnecessary expenses

Lack of focus and direction, not lack of
time, is the problem. We all have same
number of hours each day.
Radiate Positivity12
Let what you speak and what you do
spark positivity and inspire others
Keep a clean workplace13
A workplace that is cluttered and
unpleasant gives the impression of lack of
care, but a workplace that is clean, tidy
and neat reflects a productive person

stay on top of your work throughout
the day
Take the Initiative15
Be proactive to get ahead

something needs doing, do it,
and help without being asked
Go the Extra Mile16
It’s not just putting in more effort or be
more hardworking - it’s “Doing more than
what you are paid for”

Your punctuality shows that you are
committed, enthusiastic and dependable
Treat Customers Well18
Delight customers, they will return and
speak well of you and your organization
Be Honest19
Don’t lie in general,
and certainly don’t
lie to your boss, as
honesty is a trait
everyone
appreciates
Be Loyal20
Employers appreciate loyalty and you
can't expect loyalty if you do not give it
Be a Team Player21
Improve
relationships
and work with
people at all
levels of your
company - your
immediate team
and cross-
functionally as
well
Focus on Personal Development22
Focus on
personal
development
through
continuous
learning to
stay ahead and
enhance your
value as an

do not just remain silent. Give an informed
opinion through thinking critically about the topic
and after considering multiple positions.
Take Charge of Projects24
Volunteering to
take charge of
projects or
tasks is a great
opportunity to
convince your
Boss that you
are ready to
take on greater
responsibilities
and assume a
higher role
Dress Appropriately25
Dressing
appropriately
and grooming
well will give
the impression
that you are
happy to be at
work and take
work seriously
