Ever had a cool boss?
This question hits me when I met my old friends 2 weeks ago. None of them tells me a good story from their daily jobs, it is all bad. And it isn’t stop there, they called me and share their problems every day until today. Not that I bored with the story, but lately I felt the impacts which makes my view towards my boss change.
I’m not a bootlicker, i never had a cool boss too, but if you keep on hearing bad stories about where you work and who you work for, i think you’ll have to agree with me that you won’t feel comfortable working with your job.
So, here is my opinion about my friends (no offense buddy) I’m trying to help you here…
I know you are a smart, young, energetic, looking for challenge and ready to boost your ass to do crazy jobs and saving money for your future, and you need a little respect from your boss…
But here is the thing that you don’t have, at least the thing that you should learn if you want to steal your boss’s heart.-SKILL WITH PEOPLE-
What is a skill with people?
Is it needed?
Can it make your working relationship better with your boss?
The answer is… YES!
Buy the book, read it and do it.
“Skill With People by Les Giblin”
You can visit the website here and if you haven’t got the time to buy the book, you can download the summary in pdf here.
Notice the change of a “bad boss” into a “cool boss” towards you
- They take interest in your career
- They ask for a feedback
- They are your friend at work
- They raises your salary & add a bonus, perhaps, more than twice in a year
- They invite you to their party
TIPS: Checking people background from their horoscope also can help you to understand them.
Hi TRISNA-neh …
I can’t imagine how can I meet a friend like you! hahah LOL (j.k)
aaah..lovely
The work-based skill w/ people, of course, we should like to learn to establish the personality trait that seems to fit the person you are dealing with the most -in this topic is your BOSS.
then…
to be continue!
LOL
Hi Trisna.. I think I got the coolest boss. he he he.. When I had a flat tire and doesn’t know how to change it and doesn’t know what to do. Guess who I called? My Boss. And he did came and changed the flat tire :)It was very early in the morning when I was on my way to work. Isn’t it cool ? he he he . ( I got a flat tire a week after I had a car totaled)
Oh yes, gotta play the boss card close to your chest. I’ve been lucky to have several really good bosses to look up to, and several really bad ones as examples of how not to be.
In my experience, working in the corporate world, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. You’ve got to have your bosses ear. Establish that close relationship as soon as possible.
Of course, it always helps to be even closer with their boss – that way you can ensure you won’t get cheated.
Thanks for sharing information and link for download the summary of it.hahahaha I had download it and hope it will helpful in future when I starts job.
I have one friend who’s behavior for talking with others is quite similar as “you, yours,……….” and he has lots of friends, but some time I am afraid about his real other side behavior, when he is not in front of them he talk others about them.
I think be a realist don’t lie anyone and don’t try to heart them if possible this is the simple philosophy of my life……….
yeah, gak gampang lah yang jelas bu. untuk bisa berubah.. kalo elu kan enak boss elu kakak elu sendiri
gue emang sial lah dapet boss kayak gini..
aih.. gue kan punya boss gak cuma satu say, yg kemaren2 gue juga mengalami kepahitan seperti kalian kok. gue hanya mau berbagi info, karena dari buku ini gue belajar banyak.. dan penerapannya gak hanya di kantor doang lhooo, di rumah, di society, di relationship de el el…
NO, i never get bored listening my friends story… jangan pernah bosen juga terhadap gue yah say
d^_^b
peace!

Aiyooo! how come I missed seeing this Post earlier. This is another interesting subject. Trisna, you have an uncanny habit in bringing up the right topics for discussion at your Blog.
Skills With People.
Hmmm, actually there is no singular solution whether one is being employed by others or pne is self employed or people like me whom no one wishes to employ.
God in His Infinite Wisdom made sure that as long as He exists no one is THE boss. Thank God for that because the day of retribution will dawn on those demi gods who have oppressed their fellow men.
Those were the days when it was all about IQ (Intelligence Quotient). About a decade ago, it was realised that something’s wrong with our present Education methodology. We were producing people with paper qualifications but they were socially malajusted when these so called educated people commingled with their fellow men.
So, some guru came up with the term EQ (Emotional Quotient) as being more important. And many others followed that train of thought. Goodness knows how rich they are today from their writings. Ha ha ha.
Somewhere in all this IQ, EQ and Skills With People, one important word is missing. It is the word, tact.
We could come up with a list of adjectives that would fill a roll of toilet paper to support reasons that would make live worth living with others. I would not be surprised that the word “tact” is not to be found in the toilet roll list.
Interaction with peers and with the ones above requires a practical sense of tact.
What is the definition of tact?
~ hold on a minute ahhh, I got to refer to the Oxford English Dictionary. Be right back!
I’m back…. hee hee hee
tact :
• noun adroitness and sensitivity in dealing with others or with difficult issues.
— ORIGIN Latin tactus ‘touch, sense of touch’, from tangere ‘to touch’.
Now, if anyone does not understand English, I cannot be tactful after all the effort to have come this far in my writing. I suggest that anyone who does not understand, to go jump at the deep end of the public swimming pool and drown.
See, how tactless I am. Ha ha ha ha.
When one is tactful, one does not have to compromise, to surrender one’s own esteem, prejudices, bias, ego or to fawn on those who have power and kiss their ass, etc, etc,.
Being tactful is always placing you before I. And that makes life more bearable instead of the contrary when I is placed before you.
So, does Skills With People need a book to be written? I guess not.

No lahh Trisna, just human with a good amount of working experience in my own country and out of my country.
One place where it is great to be working is in Thailand. The subordinate is the boss. The Thais use their culture values to their great advantage.
A Boss should never even think of displaying emotional anger or frustration publicly. It’s a cultural NO NO.
When I was working at one of the largest Semiconductor Companies in Thailand, the Chairman told me that if I had to sack any Thai worker, I must smile, share a joke with him and somewhere between the benevolent conversation, slip in my decision that he is sacked. The Chairman was not joking.
Now, how can that be done? I would have to take acting classes with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, win an Oscar Award for Best Smiling Liar before I can even start such a conversation with a Thai worker I want to fire.
LOL
WEEEEW… Good God! i think you are a well informed natural leader… trying to be honest here.
Yep, you’re right ppl that has less T.A.C.T are ppl that usually had problem in how to interact correctly with society (usually), either with their friends, closest person or (in this case) with their boss.
Thanks for sharing this precious info of yours
~^_^~
Have a great weekend windmill
I guess the most difficult person to handle on earth is oneself. Once we knew how to handle this most difficult stubborn egoist person, everything else is easier.
