People stuff

I don't get along with my boss: what can I do?

To start with, don't let your job and your boss define who you are: it is a job not your life.
Develop tacticts that work for yourself and your present circumstances and keep up your mood
(remember Harvard Business Review research).

In practice you could:

  1. Manage upwards - try to understand what is important to your boss and why, what makes him/her tick, make yourself valuable and develop a positive working relationship.
  2. Manage yourself - focus on what you can control and do it well.
  3. Leave - if neither option one or two work, then change your job.

Remember the 3 questions:

Do you like yourself?
Do you like what you do every day?
Do you like how you do what you do?
