Understanding of Management

Read books on the role and function of business and the role of managers so that you can appreciate and understand your boss. Your role is to support the business outcomes and those of your boss’s output.  Do not get overly emotional about this bad habit.

Value to the Organization

Early in your employment discuss with the Personal Officer, Department Head or Manager, what your role is and what your values are to the Organization.  Whatever the role is, it is important.  Play it well. Ask for authority and the limits of your authority.
