Five Ways to Make Your Manager Love You, According to Managers by Zulie Rane
If you’re anything like me, you want your manager to like you.
It’s only human to want to be liked. Back in the cave ages, our survival depended on our fellow cave-dwellers enjoying our company. Our monkey brains tell us to form those bonds — and approval from our superiors increased our chances of survival.
Nowadays, of course, we don’t have caves: we have jobs.
Fully 25% of all people spend more time thinking about their work than money or sex.
Aside from the very human need to be liked, having your boss like you means your working life will be easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding.
