How to Get Over Your Fear of Your Boss

By
Guys ,
I must say those who are working in corporate companies and working in small companies.
There is a fear of boss I must say, the boss is no doubt have a dominance character but he always tries to prove that be afraid of me.
If you fall in this category, you’ve probably mastered the art of always appearing busy as a mechanism to avoid conversation, memorized your boss’ schedule so you can avoid run-ins, and learned the straight-and-narrow approach to completing tasks in a way that doesn’t raise eyebrows or warrant the most dreaded experience of all: being called into the boss’ office. 

Realize It’s Not All About You

A client once told me that, for years, she would agonize every time she rambled in a meeting or misspoke on a conference call. After meeting her husband, the CEO of a telecommunications firm, she realized that the problem was universal. “He would come home from work worrying about a comment he made to an investor or whether he’d misjudged a big decision. His fears were never about his employees’ minor screw-ups—they were about his bosses.” 

See Things as They Truly Are

You can’t change that which you don’t acknowledge. For this reason, it’s crucial that you check in and pay attention to your fear-based thoughts. Be honest with yourself: Is the fear that you feel toward your boss based on some other work or life experience deep in your past? Is it really about this particular person?

Humanize Your Boss

For most of us, there will be times when the boss is unpleasant or treats us with less respect than we feel we deserve. In some of those cases, her reaction will be warranted, but more often than not, her behavior will be the side effect of something else in her life. More than anything, it’s important to realize that almost nothing in the workplace is truly personal. 

Create a Professional Identity

We are conditioned from a young age to seek acceptance from our peers. I call this the social self, our natural default setting that is driven by the desire to be liked. On the other side of this desire is the fear of not being liked. For this reason, it’s critical that we create a professional persona as we evolve in our careers. The ability to draw a distinction between who you are in your social life—your social self—and who you are in your professional life enables you to departmentalize your fears.
I would like to put few more things in below points.
1. Distance Yourself From the Situation
2. Try to Understand Your Boss's Intentions
3. Summarize the Criticism
4. Explain Your Perspective
5. Engage in a Dialogue
6. Suggest an Action Plan
7. Consider Giving Criticism of Your Own
I hope it will help a bit but some help is also a help.

Consistency over Persistent

By
It’s amazing what you can achieve when you apply persistency and consistency, they can take a small modicum of talent and turn it into great results, allowing us to achieve things that we never thought were possible. Persistency is the art of continuing especially in spite of opposition, obstacles, discouragement, and sometimes, even failure. That ability to get up one more time than you have fallen down. Consistency is about sticking to the schedule, being disciplined and making an effort each and every day. Talent alone is not enough. There are hundreds and thousands of talented people who have never achieved their goals because they lacked these two characteristics. They either gave up when they experienced failure, or they weren’t consistent about putting in the required effort. Talent without effort will always remain unfulfilled potential. Many times in my life I have taken what little talent I have and far exceeded what people thought was possible by applying persistency and co...

E-mail Etiquette

By
Dear Readers, This is about Email Etiquettes We should Convey our message professionally by using adequate sentence and proper justified meaning,  We Should never use abbreviations or emoticons in business emails as it is a sign of unprofessionalism.  Never include any confidential information in an E-Mail,  If you are attaching any supporting documents then mention the file name in the email body as enclosed. Always Start with Good Greetings Such as HI, GOOD MORNING, ETC Always end the body with a Question or Thanking you or Thank You  Do not forward chain letters or “junk” mail, and never make any sexist, racist or otherwise discriminating remarks in an e-mail. If you will be unavailable for some time, make use of the automatic “out of office” reply function so that you do not appear to be ignoring e-mails. I guess that would be Email Etiquettes. ......
