（2023 中行）It’s a common unnerving sight that no employee wants to see. Your boss is at the office before you arrive every morning. And he / she is still there when you leave every
night. Adding to that stomach-sinking sensation is the fact that your Monday morning inbox is full of emails your boss sent the team over the weekend. Instead of being inspired by your boss’s ubiquitous presents, you start to wonder, “Does this person have a life?” You hustle and hit everyday deadline that’s given to you. You tackle extra projects thrown your way.
But after clocking eight or nine hours at the office, you go home — unlike your boss. Do you have to match his / her marathon pace to get ahead?
Not necessarily. Experts say “You can impress a workaholic boss by achieving just as much as he or she does without letting working impact your personal life,” says Kirstin
O’Donovan. The following pointers will help you prove your worth without becoming a workaholic.
Make your impact obvious
Show your boss what results you’re achieving by sending a summary at the end of the day or week. But when you send along this progress report, focus on what you accomplished and the impact of your work — not the hours you logged to do it.
Step up your productivity
Once you’ve shifted focus on how much you get done, and not how long you spend doing it, start working on increasing your efficiency. Begin by identifying and eliminating
“time thieves” and managing potential distractions such as email and interruptions from chatty co-workers. Then move on to planning and prioritizing your workload. “Some people
spend too much time working because they think everything is urgent.” says Kirstin O’Donovan.
And be proactive to show your boss you’re on the outlook for new solutions. “If there are some policy changes, software updates or organizational shifts that could skyrocket your
productivity, share that with your boss as well.”
