Communicate
With Your
? Manager
By / Mohammad

What is Communication?
Communication is a learned skill. Most people are born with the physical ability to
talk, but we must learn to speak well and communicate effectively. Speaking,
listening, and our ability to understand verbal and nonverbal meanings are skills we
develop in various ways.
6. What information does your boss need from you, and when does
he need it?
Find out when your boss will be attending important meetings, and
make sure to brief him on key issues in your area beforehand. If
there's bad news, make sure he hears it from you first.
1. Forget about excuses—With rare exceptions, no manager cares or wants to hear why a
task wasn’t done. It’s your job to get it done well and meet the deadline.
2. Simply carrying your share is not enough—Doing only what is expected of you does
not set you apart from other employees. Managers value people who not only do their job
but who seek new and better ways of doing things and are willing to initiate an idea and
follow through on it. Volunteering for projects can be a great way to show initiative and
offers opportunities to work with others in the organization outside your specific work
group.
3. Follow through on your own—Tie up loose ends on your own, don’t wait for your
manager to remind you of what needs to be done next. Don’t hesitate to ask questions in
order to move a project along.
4. Attendance and punctuality count—Managers quickly become aware of who makes
an effort to be at work and on time and who avoids being available when other people
need them in order to do their work.
7. Choose your battles carefully—To decide if something is worth fighting for, ask
yourself: How much difference does this problem really make in my job? Is it permanent
or temporary? And most importantly, do I have a realistic chance of winning? Don’t
become a victim in a no-win situation.
9. Never assume other people operate from your standards, goals or rules—When
you find yourself thinking, “I never expected that behavior from that person,” you know
you’ve made a mistake of projecting your views and values onto others’ behaviors.
Managers will see this tactic as a narrow thinking
10. Learn what other people in the organization are doing—Be aware of what the major
goals and objectives are for your organization. Ask questions and consider how your job
fits in with the big picture.
