Secrets Your Boss Won’t Tell You—But You Need to Know
Performance: do less to do more
When you’re under the wire (в последний момент), sometimes doing more just means spinning your wheels and not actually accomplishing (завершить, довести до конца) anything. A good boss will understand and give you the space to clear your head and make a game plan. Jumping into a mess and not having a plan is like jumping into quicksand (сыпучий песок). The more you struggle to get out the more you’re pulled in. Take an hour. Take a lunch break or a walk outside the office to clear your head and figure out your next step outside the pressure cooker. You’ll get more done and stay sane.
We don’t want to have to tell you what to do all the time
Giving people instructions is part of the territory for a boss but that doesn’t mean they want to have to instruct you in every little thing. You have to find the balance between asking enough questions that you understand your tasks and asking so many that you turn your job into theirs. So stop waiting for instructions for every task and take some initiative (проявите инициативу).
