Thanks for this addition. It is a great one and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it when writing up this post. Understanding your manager’s perspective and what makes them successful enables you to go above and beyond in a way that matters and will get results within your organization. If they begin to trust that you won’t just do what they ask you to do, but that you will also do what they really need you to do (but might not think to ask) you will be trusted with bigger projects and responsibilities over time.

Another thought is to thoroughly understanding your manager’s role in the organization and find ways that you can make him/her look good. Most managers have significant responsibilities on top of managing project resources, etc. Make their job easier by providing quality work and anticipating expectations from the level of leadership above your manager. If you are tasked to start tracking your time spent on projects more critically – don’t just produce snazzy Excel workbooks with the information. This exercise might be part of a top-down driven initiative to better understand the organization’s project cost structures. Anticipate these scenarios and augment any report with value-add information that would facilitate better decision making. In this example, you might provide research that identifies trends in the amount of time necessitated for gathering requirements – along with your ideas on how costs could be better managed during early phases of projects. Don’t just aim for standing out in your role – work on making your manager stand out in theirs.
