Create a Relationship With Your Boss

• 1). Make an appointment with your new boss during her first week as supervisor. Welcome her to the company and voice your confidence in her leadership abilities. Ask her to outline her specific expectations as they relate to employee performance. Write these expectations down on a notepad, and keep them in a place where you can easily access them for later reference.
  
  
• 2). Ask your new boss to outline a few of the goals he hopes to achieve in the next year. Voice your desire to help ensure that those goals get met. Create a list of projects you can take on to help him achieve his goals, making sure that each project outlines definitive achievement goals that can be completed by a set deadline.
  
  
• 3). Schedule performance check-ins with your boss over the next year. Make sure that you write each appointment into both of your Day-Timers, so you are on the same page. Set personal achievement deadlines, so that you are sure to have each project completed on time. Tell your boss that you are glad to be working as a team.
