Managing Upwards By Understanding the Design of your Boss

It is vital to know how to manage your boss.  

Firstly you have to know what your values are and how it influences your own life, before you can understand the values of your boss.  You cannot understand other people if you do not understand yourself. Most definitely! It is so easy to look at the behavior of others and say; I would have done it differently or if I was in that position I would behave differently – but you cannot say how you would behave until you are in that position.
When you are working with your boss, you have to find the best ground where both your needs are met.
