Gabarro and John P. Kotter advise readers to devote time and energy to managing t heir relationships with their bosses. The authors aren't talking about sho wering supervisors with flattery\; rather\, they ask readers to understand that the manager-boss relationship is one of mutual dependence. Bosses ne ed cooperation\, reliability\, and honesty from their direct reports. Mana gers\, for their part\, rely on bosses for making connections with the res t of the company\, for setting priorities\, and for obtaining critical res ources. It only makes sense to work at making the relationship operate as smoothly as possible. Successfully managing your relationship with your bo ss requires that you have a good understanding of your supervisor and of y ourself\, particularly strengths\, weaknesses\, work styles\, and needs. O nce you are aware of what impedes or facilitates communication with your b oss\, you can take actions to improve your relationship. You can usually e stablish a way of working together that fits both of you\, is characterize d by unambiguous mutual expectations\, and makes both of you more producti ve and effective. No doubt\, some managers will resent that on top of all their other duties\, they must also take responsibility for their relation ships with their bosses. But these managers fail to realize that by doing so\, they can actually simplify their jobs\, eliminating potentially sever e problems and improving productivity.\n\nFree parking is available at Azi z Salon and Day Spa\, at 710 W. 7th Street (NE Corner of 7th and West) .
