#1 Way to Improve Your Job Satisfaction
Published October 01, 2009 @ 04:27PM PT
We have all experienced it before ... Whether it is total job unhappiness or just a nagging restlessness, most people go through a period of dissatisfaction with their job.
There can be a lot of reasons for this... a unbalanced workload, communication issues with co-workers, underutilized skills, or just plain burnout.
No matter the reason for the current rut, there is one thing you can do that will be sure to improve your situation: Develop a trusting relationship with your boss.
This, obviously, is two-way street. You need to be able to trust your boss and your boss needs to be able to trust you.
Trusting your boss will help you to have faith in your organization, your career, and your future. Being trusted by your boss will ensure that you have autonomy in your position, receive the support you need, and get open, honest feedback about your performance.
Trusting your boss requires maintaining open lines of communication, forgiving personal differences and have faith in the same vision for the organization. Being trusted by your boss requires you to be dependable, accountable, and open about your ideas and needs.
It's not rocket science, but if it were easy, everyone would have a trusting relationship were their boss. Either way, it's worth the investment. Trust can be your saving grace in a challenging position or in a lull in one that you love.
