Do your job, and do it well
做你的本职工作，并把它做好
It may seem obvious, but plenty of employees fail to accomplish the basic tasks that are required of them. If you make a diligent effort and do a good job, your boss will be impressed. It all starts here, Coleman says. If you dont do great work itll be difficult, if not impossible, to win over your boss, even if you follow all of the remaining suggestions well. Employees who do good work, consistently, efficiently, and professionally, are a joy to manage and ultimately allow their manager to focus on critical issues within the organization. The less your boss has to focus on your accomplishing your daily tasks, the more he or she can focus on accomplishing his or hers.
这好像是显而易见的，但不少职员未能完成所需要的基本任务。假如你工作勤奋努力，并出色的完成工作，你将会给你的老板留下很好的印象。所有从这里开始，科尔曼说。假如连本职工作都做不好，就算你能把其他八条秘笈都用上，想要取得老板的一定也是非常难的，甚至根本没戏。能稳定、高效、专业地拓展工作的员工，管理起来会是乐事一件，并且能为其上级将更多精力投入到组织内部的重点问题提供帮助。上司对你平时工作好坏投入的精力越少，就越可以腾出手来达成我们的收获。
Really get to know your boss
真正知道你的老板
When you first start working with your boss, you should sit down and have a conversation about how he or she likes to communicate, Attridge says. Ask your boss if he or she likes to correspond by phone, e|mail or in person, find out how often he wants status updates from you, and figure out how much detail he wants in those updates. Great communication is vital for building a strong relationship with your boss.
从刚开始与上级共事，就应该坐下来，就有关于她/他喜欢的交流方法进行交流，阿特里奇说。问问你的老板，他/她是喜欢通过电话、邮箱来交流还是面对面，不只要知道他想要你多长时间进行一次状况更新，还要了解他想在这类交流中获得多少细节。有力的交流对于和老板打造密切关系至关要紧。
Assist and support your bosss professional goals
辅佐上级达成他一个人的职业目的
A primary job of any employee is to make the bosss life easier. And just like you, your boss has professional goals that he or she is trying to accomplish, Coleman says. Find out whats on your bosss plate, and see how you can help to lighten the load.
任何一位员工的最重要工作都是替老板排忧解难。正如你，你的老板也有其努力想要达成的职业目的，科尔曼说。知道你老板的职责，想想你能怎么样帮助减轻负担。
Be loyal to your boss
忠于你的老板
Always be a dedicated and honest employee. Never talk about your boss to colleagues in the office, and never go around him or her when you have an issue, Attridge says. If there is an issue, sit down and talk to your boss. Be a respectful and loyal employee, and keep those conversations between the two of you. A lack of trust can severely damage the relationship and your career.
永远都做一个敬业和诚实的职员。决不可以在办公室和其他同事谈论你的老板，当你遇见问题的时候，决不可以绕过他/她，阿特里奇说。假如遇见问题，坐下来，与你的老板谈谈。做一个有礼貌和忠诚的下属，并确保这是你们两个人之间的对话。缺少信赖会紧急破坏你们的关系和你的职业生涯。
Make your bosss priorities your priorities
叫你老板的工作重点成为你的重点
Your job is essentially all about meeting the boss priorities the way he or she wants them to be met, Attridge says. Remember that its a team effort, with your boss the lead person. If something isnt at the TOP of your list but your boss expresses that its a priority then it immediately becomes your priority, too. Communicate with your boss regularly to make sure your goals and priorities are in sync.
你的工作基本上是根据你老板认可的方法达成他/她的最重要目的，阿特里奇说。切记这需要团队力量，而你的上级则是那位带头人。假如一些工作并不在你的工作范畴内，但你的老板说它需要优先完成那样它也应该立即成为你的最重要工作。按期与你的老板交流以确保你的目的和最重要工作是同步的。
Take the initiative with projects and assignments
在项目和任务中采取主动
Volunteer to take on new projectsbut dont overload yourself. You want to have enough time and energy to do a great job on everything. One thing that will really impress your boss: Try to think of valuable projects or assignments that you can start and complete without much supervision or guidance from your boss, Coleman says.
主动承担新的项目但不要让自己超负荷。你想要充足的时间和精力在任何一方面都能出色完成工作。有一样东西会真正撼动你的老板：尝试考虑不需要你的老板太多督导，你一个人能启动并完成的高价值项目或者任务，科尔曼说。
Seek solutions to problems
寻求解决问题的方法
Dont rely on your boss to fix everything. When a problem arises dont just point it out. Its likely obvious to everyone that something has gone wrong, Coleman says. Instead, offer suggestions And, if appropriate, roll up your sleeves and try to address the problem. When a problem surfaces, never whine about it. No one likes a negative person, he adds. That reduces morale and may impede productivity. When adversity comes, and it will, try to avoid complaining and instead seek ways to solve the problem.
不要依靠你的老板去解决所有问题。当有问题出现的时候，不要只不过指出来。可能大家都看得出来存在的问题，科尔曼说。相反，要提出解决的建议，假如适合的话，挽起袖子，试着去解决问题。当问题浮出水面的时候，决不可以发牢骚。无人会喜欢内心消极的人他补充说。那会削弱士气，妨碍生产。在面临逆境，试着防止抱怨，相反去探寻解决问题的办法。
Show an interest in an activity your boss is passionate about
对老板热衷的事情表现出兴趣
Dont be afraid to tap into your bosss personal life. No one is all work and no play, Coleman says. Find out what the boss likes to do outside of work and take an interest in the activity. Consider reading the same book shes started and discuss key points or chapters with your boss, or join her in a round of golf if she loves the links. Shell appreciate your efforts to share in something they find pleasurable, and you may get some invaluable one|on|one time to display your skills and competencies.
不要害怕会闯入你老板的私生活。没什么人是只工作不玩耍的，科尔曼说。知道你老板工作以外的兴趣喜好，并对它产生兴趣。考虑和她阅读同样的书本，与你的老板分析书中的要素和章节，或者和她打一场高尔夫球，假如她热爱高尔夫球场的话。她将很感激你为和他们推荐愉快的事情而做出的努力，你可能会得到一些宝贵的一对一时间来展示你的技能和能力。
Demonstrate a long|term interest in your organization
展示自己可以为公司长远利益着想
Although younger employees rarely remain with the same company for life, theres nothing sTOPping you from thinking and acting in the long|term interest of the company, Coleman says. Learn about your key customers and products and figure out how you can support increased growth. He also suggests asking questions to get a better idea of where the company is heading and to figure how you can align your career development and professional goals with the companys goals. Over time youll develop into a valued employee, and hopefully youll acknowledge your boss as a key supporter in your growth and development which ultimately indicates to others in your organization that your boss is a great developer of talent.
虽然较为年轻的员工极少会将我们的职业生涯全部奉献给同一间公司，但什么事情都不该阻止你本着企业的长远利益来考虑和行动，科尔曼说。知道你关键的顾客和商品，弄了解，你怎么样才能支持持续的增长。他还建议，要多通过提问来更好地知道公司进步方向，并考虑了解怎么样让我们的职业进步和职业目的与该企业的目的维持相一致。伴随时间推移，你将成长为一名有价值的职员，并且想承认上级在你的成长中发挥关键的帮助用途它最后可以向组织内的别的人证明，你的老板是一位独具慧眼的伯乐。
