LEARN YOUR BOSS:If
you're working for someone, you've got to learn how they operate. Learn
their likes and dislikes. Learn their work habits and preferences.
Write it down. For example, if your boss doesn't like to fly a
certain airline when you do all their travel. Or if your boss doesn't like to schedule meetings after 5pm. Or if you
find that your boss doesn't like to lunch with a particular colleague, write it down. It'll save you in the long run. And you'll be a team member that pays attention.
