Act early to correct a negative perception.

Chances are that at some point in your career, you’ll have at least one boss you just can’t seem to impress, or who tends to rub the wrong way.

This may seem unwarranted to you. But it’s important to remember that if you want to succeed in your job, it will always be your responsibility to adapt to your boss.So what’s the most likely cause of a perceived misfit? It usually starts with one event. You likely hit one of your boss’s “hot buttons”—their critical performance priorities or style imperatives. For one boss, maybe you didn’t spend enough time with company distributors.

Find out how they’d prefer to work with you, such as how often you two should meet, whether they prefer formal or informal meetings, if you should be reachable at all times by email and cell, and how they will measure your performance.Of course, not every boss may convey what’s important to him or her. So in addition to asking directly, watch their actions in meetings. Observe what annoys them. Observe what they praise.

Many times the problem is not the employee, but it is the boss. Why do awful people get promoted?

V can't correct everything because v hardly know what is real or not.

Best way is to wear 3 Masks and a Face shield and not go within 6 ft of any living organism.

sometimes the boss gets annoyed due to slander or incitement of colleagues, how is that?

Here's better advice: Leave.

Great article! It’s important to ask for feedback and listening to what your boss expects from you. If there are clashes you can at least clarify. I’m my experience that builds trust on the long run.

This has to be a joke piece right? Why would it be my responsibility to correct a negative perception/judgment or bias about me when I’ve done nothing to create it! How does this stuff get published - it’s beyond me!

Wrong mindset. Do not waste your time and energy with this type of situation. If you’re not being recognized for the value you offer then go somewhere that will. Leave them.

Don’t. Leave and go elsewhere. There saved you the read.

Not sure I agree with the sentiment that, “it will always be your responsibility to adapt to your boss.” Seems a bit out-dated and ignores the leader’s responsibility to know their team members well enough to effectively lead/communicate with them.
