(1) You won’t always get along with everyone you work with. But when there’s friction between you and your boss, that’s a problem. "It’s not a relationship of equals, " noted Marie Mclntyre, a career coach in Atlanta and author of "Secrets to Winning at Office Politics. " "The boss has more leverage than you and is in the power position."
(2) Your manager is the one influencing your pay, job growth and project assignments. So not being on good terms can be detrimental to your career, even if you’re good at your job. Learning how to identify problem areas and manage these workplace relationships will help you become more successful. "A united team is a powerful team, " said Jon Gordon, author of "The Power of a Positive Team." "When you have friction, you aren’t going to be as strong. It’s crucial to your productivity, efficiency and ultimately your success. "
Identify the disconnect
(3) You can’t fix an unknown problem. Figure out the source of disconnect with your boss, and then strategize how best to mitigate the situation. It can often be a difference in work or management styles. But if a lot of your colleagues also have issues with the boss, you might be stuck with a bad manager. "You have to figure out how to work with them. If your boss is an idiot, then you have to figure out how to work for an idiot boss, " said Mclntyre. It helps to discuss with your co-workers about how to best interact with the boss.
Are you the problem?
(4) There are bad managers out there. But sometimes, the worker is the problem. Take the time to review your past relationships with bosses—has there always been conflict? If so, you might have an issue with authority. If you’ve had issues with the majority of your previous bosses, that’s a sign you could have some authority issues, noted Mclntyre. Other signs include feeling resentful when your boss gives directions, arguing or wanting to argue frequently with your boss, and intentionally ignoring instructions. "If you get into an argument with your boss, you’ve already lost, " she added.
Learn to manage up… tactfully
(5) If the disconnect between you and your boss stems from different management styles, be proactive and clear with your needs. Tell your boss what you need from him or her in order to perform at your best. If you favor more autonomy when your boss is more of a micromanager, establish a schedule and communication method that works for both of you. Creating an open document that details your progress on a project that your boss can access, setting up a designated time to provide an update, or sending daily/weekly email updates can help diffuse any anxiety or unwanted
hovering
. If you need more feedback and company insight, set up regular check-ins. "Outline your goals and request to meet quarterly or monthly to make sure you are on the right track, " said Vicki Salemi, career expert at Monster.com. "It’s challenging to manage up. You are basically telling your boss I need you to help with this so the team looks better, the boss looks better and you look better. It’s a total win." Cut your boss some slack
(6) Everyone makes mistakes, including bosses. "You have to recognize there aren’t any perfect managers, they are just people and you have to figure out how to work it out, " said Mclntyre.
Seek out safety in numbers
(7) Limiting one-on-one time with your boss can help avoid tension and flare-ups. "Being around more people can help when personalities clash, " said Salemi. "You can’t really change the other person, you can try and make the best of a situation."
Break the negative cycle
(8) How you think about your boss is important and can continue to derail the relationship. "The more you think about your boss as an evil, stupid and mean person, the more it will affect how you interact with that person, " warned Mclntyre. Try to identity some positive traits about your boss and focus on those instead. "Don’t become obsessed with the bad."
Stay respectful
(9) You don’t want to get a reputation of being disrespectful or hard to manage—that can stunt your career growth. "You may not respect the person as a manager, but you have to show respect for the position if you want things to go well, " said Mclntyre. "Never go to war with your boss. If you do, you are probably going to lose. " (本文选自 edition. cnn. com) [br] What’s the meaning of "hovering" in Para. 5?
选项
A、Staying in the same place in the air.
B、Being in an uncertain situation.
C、Staying nervously in one place.
D、Staying around a certain level.
答案
C
解析
语义题第五段第三、四句讲的是一个喜欢拥有更多自主权的员工应该如何与老板相处。可以建立一份公开文档,详细说明你项目上的进展,让老板可以访问,并且设置定时更新,或每日/每周发送电子邮件更新,这有助于平息焦虑,老板也不会unwanted hovering。原文中anxiety与unwanted hovering由or来连接,说明两者是并列的关系,那么hovering也应该有“焦虑不安”的含义,由此可判断C为答案。A“停留在空中同一位置”一般是指飞行器悬停在空中或鸟类盘旋在空中,不会指人;B“处于不确定的状态”与原文语境不符;D“处于某一水平上下”一般是指价格等,同样与原文语境不符,因此排除。
