Everyone in the workplace scuffle wants to figure out where they occupy the eyes of their superiors. Is it a trusted right-hand man, or a marginalized character? In fact, to understand your position in the heart of your boss, you only need to observe four key points. These four points are like a mirror that illuminates your true place in the heart of your boss. Next, let's unveil this mystery together and see if you are the "own person" in the heart of your boss.
1 Are you the first to be considered when there is a distribution of benefits? Profit is the best criterion for testing everything. By observing whether your boss prioritizes you in the distribution of benefits, you can understand whether you are considered a confidant of your boss. The boss naturally has a scale in his heart, and he cares about it. When something good happens, does your boss think of you first? This could be an opportunity for a promotion or a salary increase, or it could be an opportunity to further your education. If these good things happen to you frequently, then it means that your boss values you very much, regards you as an indispensable member of the team, and an important partner in his heart that deserves to share the fruits of success. Conversely, if good things always come around you, then you may need to think deeply. 2 When you encounter a problem, will your boss consult you? When your true feelings are revealed in difficult situations, your boss seeking help from you in difficult situations is more proof of his trust in you. When your boss has a problem, will he consult you and listen to your advice? If yes, then you are a wise and capable person in the mind of your boss. They trust your opinion to lead to new revelations that will help them solve problems better. This feeling of being trusted and relied on is more satisfying than any material reward, because you know that you have an important place in the heart of your boss. 3 Will your boss take you to important occasions? In the company, there are some occasions that are very important, such as meetings with important customers, or major decision-making meetings of the company. On these occasions, the boss will bring the person he trusts the most. If you are often brought to such occasions, then you are "your own person" in the mind of your boss. This is because he wants you to gain experience and improve your abilities in these situations. At the same time, he also hopes that you will be able to express your views and ideas in these occasions and have an impact on the company's decision-making. 4 Does your boss care about your personal life? If your boss only treats you as a work machine, then he will certainly not care about your personal life. But if he sees you as a friend, a trustworthy person, then he will care about your personal life. He will ask you how you are doing, if you have any troubles, if you need help. He will also give you a gift on your birthday to show that he cares. This kind of care is a sign of respect for you and a recognition of you. 5 Will your boss praise you for your performance? If your boss often praises you for your achievements, he is likely to think that you are a competent employee who deserves his trust and dependence. Appreciation is not only an affirmation of your work achievements, but also a recognition of your personal ability and value. If your boss often nods and praises you for your performance, then you must have a high status in his heart. 6 Does your boss give you more responsibilities and challenges? If your boss is willing to give you more responsibilities and challenges, then he is likely to think that you are a potential employee who is worth investing in and developing. More responsibilities and challenges mean higher expectations, and if your boss is willing to give you more important tasks, it means that he trusts and expects more from you. 7 Will your supervisor provide guidance and support for your personal development? If your boss provides guidance and support for your personal development, then he is likely to see you as a promising employee who deserves his careful guidance and help. This kind of guidance and support will not only help you be more successful at work, but also help you go further in your career path. In general, the most important thing to observe whether your boss treats you as "his own person" is to see if he chooses you at a critical moment. Will he give you priority in the distribution of benefits? Does he consult you when he has a problem? Will he take you with him on important occasions? Does he care about your personal life? If the answer to these four questions is yes, then congratulations, you are the "own person" in the heart of your boss. However, if the answer is no, then you need to reflect on whether you need to change your work attitude and improve your work ability to win the trust and recognition of your boss.
