After working for a while in a job that you
dislike its only natural to focus on how to find
a better one, usually at a different
organization. Unfortunately thats a process that
could be frustrating, lengthy, and ultimately
even unsuccessful if, as many do, you wind up in
a job that isnt much better than the one you
left. Thats not to say by any means that a job
change is a bad idea - its often the only smart
solution. Its just that Ive often found that
clients who make a genuine effort to change
things at their current job quite often
experience significant, positive change in a
number of areas, and so can avoid or postpone the
inevitable disruptions and learning curve
associated with a new place of employment. Today
and next time I will go over some common areas of
dissatisfaction and will propose some ideas and
techniques to smooth the way towards major
improvement.

First a general pointer avoid engaging in
negative conversations about your workplace and
steer away from constant complainers. Of course
theres a lot that could be better where you
work, but you need to be focused on whats good
rather than solely on whats bad.

Another key to improving the boss and/or client
relationship is for you to determine their key
issues. Particularly at the outset of a new
business relationship you ought to work much
harder on making their lives easier rather than
yours. The appreciation and trust that you build
up will pay innumerable dividends down the road,
whether it be through compensation, autonomy,
power, or function.

Finally, theres the super important issue of
your personal relationship with him/her. One of
your primary goals in any job in which youre
dealing with a boss and/or a client is to build
the relationship person-to-person. I DO NOT!!!
mean brown-nosing. I mean exerting at least the
same effort that you would in cultivating a new
social friend. For more information please
