How to be cool with your bosses

[Boom_1982]

Hi members,

Need some suggestions on how to be cool and come across as different/unique yet strong and dominant before your bosses thereby increasing my chances of growth. My immediate and super bosses are strong and independent business women. I'm following four steps mentioned by Chase in article and come across as a rebel personality and yet who is open to feedback however can 4 work against me if I do not toe line on certain occasions however have convincing reasons of my own?

1. Always provides value; never only takes it
2. Remains cool and unflappable; always in control
3. Sticks to the Law of Least Effort religiously
4. Breaks the rules at least some of the time

Read the book "The 48 Laws Of Power" by Robert Greene. That book has some great tips on how to be powerful in front of your superiors.

Thanks for suggestion Troy. Quick question: Do I need to read the book and apply strategies or just focus on doing quality work? What do you recommend?

I recommend buying the PDF/Kindle version. That costs probably $20 or less. Read through the main chapters and pick one that resonates with you. Start by mastering 1 law of power at a time.

Treat them like people. Far too many kiss ups and tryhards out there.
