Forget rare exceptions no boss cares why an assignment wasn't done. It's your job to get it done and on time.

 

2 Do not aim for perfection

Getting it done well and on time is much more important than doing it "Perfectly"

 

3 Carrying your share is not enough

Bosses value people who do their job and look around for, create or ask for more real work.

 

4 Follow Through

Tie up the loose ends of your assignments. Don't wait to be reminded, particularly by a Supervisor

 

5 Anticipate Problems

 When your responsibilities depend on input from others, check their plans and their understanding of what you're requesting.

 

6 Be Resilient About Problems

Part of carrying your responsibilities is understanding that unforeseeable failures by others are a routine part of work life. When problems occur, no one is picking on you and you can't excuse it as bad luck.

 

7 Don't Take Problems to your boss

 If you lack the authority, come prepared with solutions when you broach the problem. Even though your boss may not use your solutions, you've made an impression as a problem solver - not as a problem collector.

 

8 Attendance counts

People quickly become aware of who makes an effort to be there and who uses any excuse to miss a day

 

9 Don't be a squeaking wheel

Don't be seen as " Here comes a problem".

 

10 Don't carry grudges

You cannot win them all. So don't squander your energy, the goodwill of your allies, and the patience of your boss by turning every issue into a crusade

 

11Choose your battles carefully

 Ask yourself: how much difference the problem really makes. Is it worth an enemy? Do I have a realistic chance of winning?

 

12 Deal directly with the person who makes the decision

 Dealing with people with less authority may be easier on your nerves, but you'll be wasting time and effort.

 

13 Keep control of problems

 Let's say you need some special work done. Don't stop with getting approval. If the other person doesn't follow through, you're left looking inept

 

14 Learn to translate boss language

 "If it's not too much trouble" means, "Do it, and the sooner the better".

 

15 learn what other people in the company are doing

What were last year's big triumphs and failures? 
How does your job' intertwine with all this?
Then you'll understand when, how and where to press for your goals

 

16 Get along with your co-workers

 Internal battles mean less production. To your boss, if you're involved, you're automatically wrong.

 

17 Protect the company's reputation

Never discuss company business and people where strangers can overhear。 Even in private, be reticent

 

18 Let others win sometimes

 "Sounds like a good idea. We'll do it that way". If you don't, people will resent you.

 

19 Learn Timing

Develop the patience to wait for an appropriate occasion

 

20 Don't Lie

 Lying will make problems worse. If you're caught in a lie, you lose your credibility.

 

21 Read your industry's publications

 Indicating you haven't the time or money to read will shock your bosses. To them, your lack of interest indicates no real career goals. Or worse, they may think that you are ignorant of important professional news.

 

22 Get to know your peers

Be active in one or more professional/trade organizations. The contacts you make and information you glean aid you on a personal level whenever you change jobs, while improving your current status.

 

23 Never assume other people are operating from your standards

When you find yourself thinking"I never would have expected such behaviour from her", you know you've made the mistake of projecting your outlook on to others' behaviour.

 

24 Use Commonsense

 When you can use commonsense naturally, that means ur matual! Commonsense on every aspect is the most impossible,just make it when encounting!
