Axis Capital Group, a human resource company based in Ghana knows that many of the employees' issue and/or happiness depend on the boss. It really matters what and how the boss behave. Looking at the term itself, "Boss" is someone who is higher than you in rank in the office. How can you, a mere employee, be able to manage your boss and start a relationship with him? Well, there are different types of bosses that you might encounter in our lifetime. Managing your boss does not instantly mean that you have to undermine him; that you literally have to manage him although you have to do a lot of adjustments to please him. Sometimes, admit it or not, we may bend some of our own principles just to get along with the boss. 1. The Martyr This kind of boss will do anything for the company even to the extent of coming to work in the midst of a super typhoon while he has pneumonia or walking 30 minutes to the office every day after his car had an accident and he has to amputate both of his legs (well, he is somehow like that). How to Deal with him: Listen to him and you may get some advice from him. You can't keep him from the things that he wants to do with the company. The loyalty of this kind of his boss is obviously to the company so make sure not to talk anything against or you have complaints about the company to him. If you want to point out something negative, try the art of proper timing. 2. The Screamer This type of boss usually has issues: 1. either he just wants to be heard enough to get his way; 2. He gets more pressure and stress by pleasing the higher authority and managing the subordinates or; 3. He is deaf. How to Deal with Him: Whatever his issues may be, you just have to avoid being shouted at and make sure to get your job done. If you finally get the chance to earn his respect, maybe you should try asking him to lower down his voice. H

Very few people know what their specific purpose in life is in high school. Some might realize it in college but a lot of people who are already working have never really been able to identify their real identity or what they want to be. When we are still young, we have specific goals: either to be a doctor, pilot, teacher or preacher. As we grow older, priorities change. We slowly understand other options, reveal hidden talents, acknowledge other skills and determine which pays more. There are so many career paths that can suite us.

How about those young children who have their interest at heart but have to consider a lot of factors before jumping into decisions or have to follow their parents' choice against their will without complaints? There are also children who never had a definite choice in the first place but are willing to invest 4-5 years of their life into something that may bring them money after graduation. In the end, these children end up unemployed or wasted. One of the reasons why there is no decline in global unemployment rate is because of the people that have not yet decided which path to take after graduation.

Successful conversationalists shun questions that may be answered with a simple yes or no. Ask open-ended questions and then listen. When you choose a topic of conversation that establishes interest in the other person, the conversation will flow more smoothly. Say the other person's name. Dale Carnegie once said, "A person's name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language." Any business acquaintance will be pleased and awestruck if you remember his or her name. If you have trouble remembering names, set out to practice as often as possible. When you meet someone for the first time, say the person's name instantly. Respond with something like, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ivan." Then use their name a couple of times during your conversation. When the conversation ends, say their name one last time: "I really enjoyed meeting you, John."
