Advance Your Career by Managing Your Supervisor
Most employees go out of their way to avoid their supervisors, even if their supervisors are nice and easy to work for. Supervisors who are difficult and hard to work for are often avoided like the plague. The main reason that supervisors, even nice ones, tend to be avoided is they are subconsciously viewed as scary people like police officers or judges. We try to stay out of their away and avoid contact with them - and most of us don’t go to them unless we are required to do so. The problem with this attitude is it can cripple our career advancement.
