Fire your boss

Recently I read a book by names "Fire your Boss" by Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine. This book gives lot of insights about your job and how do you need to be at your work place.

I personally when through problems when it comes to appraisal. Inspite of working so hard forthe whole year and when you feel that you deserve promotion and you do not get you feel down. Whact could be the reason?

If you really see, it is not the work alone which matters here. It all depends on what kind of relationship do you have with your manager. Means there would not be any misunderstanding with your boss but you are not close with him.

How do you go close to him? By taking up his job and making him feel comfortable. When you start taking his job you are not only making yourself available for the next position but you relationship improves with him. Do not hesitate in offering him help in his job.

This book explains all this and also on how do you prepare yourself in an organization in worst scenarios, when do you need to look out for job, etc.,

It more emphasize on maintaining the relationship with your colleagues even after quiting the job. As the author says noone hires stranger when they need people for critical position.

Its a nice book to read and I would recommend everyone to read this book
