Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each
paragraph of the passage. There is one extra heading.

A. Don't get too close B. Know your boss C. Don't stay late D. Make your boss look good AB. Solve your own problems AC. Listen attentively

1.          
Learning how to deal effectively with a superior will benefit both of you. Good listening means hearing not only what the boss says but also what he or she implies. It means being able to summarize and to respond
intelligently. Forget any nervousness and concentrate on what your boss is saying. Take notes. Ask a
question or two, briefly summarize what has been said.
Remember: boss like people who don't have to be told things twice.
2.          
Nothing eats away at a manager's time - and influence - more than employees who can't solve their own
problems. Handling your own difficulties will help you develop the skills and contacts you need to work
effectively and will raise your value in your boss's eyes.
3.          
Hard work shows enthusiasm and inspires others. Put in extra hours at the beginning and not the end of
the day. You'll be fresh, not tired. Plus, coming in early says, "I'm eager to get started" while staying late
says, "I didn't get things done."
4.          
Knowing your boss should not reach the point at which you become closely involved with each other's
personal lives. You and your boss aren't equals in your organization. Being too close to your boss might
cause co - workers distrust you.
5.          
This is the heart and soul of boss management. Point out his or her strengths to others. Keep him
informed. Never offer new information in a meeting where your boss is present. Give him the facts in
advance and let him do the talking.
