How to deal with your relationship with your boss effectively?
  
Swiss IMD Business School summed up ten principles through research. Trying to answer some of the problems that managers often encounter in managing their bosses, with the aim of helping them build more effective relationships, prompting them to make faster, better decisions and increase mutual trust.
  
Guidelines to remind him and help him.
  
He has many subordinates and needs to make various decisions. Therefore, if you urge him to make decisions, he will probably say "no". To avoid these words that will destroy you and your team's enthusiastic "no", you can:
  
Remind him of his intentions in the last meeting; remind him of his goals rather than hastily specific contents and methods; remind him of the problems he had encountered in the past because he did not make timely decisions; quickly summarize the options to be considered, the criteria for selecting such alternatives, tell him what you expect him to do: just inform you or make common decisions, take risks together, add a standard, reexamine the plan, concentrate on those matters that you need his help, and prepare facts and data to avoid possible differences. Use tables and charts to help him quickly understand the situation; after the talks, the summary of his decisions is confirmed by consensus; once the decision is made, do not comment on it.
  
Rule two managing his time
  
You have problems to solve, and spend all your time dealing with these things. But don't expect your boss to arrange his time like that too.
  
The simpler the problem, the less time it takes for him: preparation, summaries, comprehensive information and various choices. Do not confuse the most common problems and the most important ones. Make an appointment with him in advance.
  
Rule three ask for his advice.
  
When a boss is asked for guidance or advice, he rarely pushes the question back to the person asking him questions. Their opinions may not always be gifted or visionary, but once the opinion is given, it may become a limiting condition: is this a command? So, if you don't want your boss's opinion to interfere with your progress, slow down the pace of decision making, or blurred the point, and don't rush to ask for advice.
  
Choose the right time to avoid delay. He should not only save his time but also choose the right time. If he asks questions at the wrong time, he may delay.
  
Prepare for your meeting. First of all, the advantage is to those who are prepared. Secondly, preparation can help you quickly discuss the central issues.
  
In the discussion, we should talk about the whole situation first, and then talk about the details. Start with the basic questions and remind him of what he is aiming at, what steps you have taken and what you want to get.
