One assumption that’s easy to make but can really damage your career is that your boss knows what you’re doing and how well you’re doing it. After all, they’re your boss. It’s their job to know what’s going on and to look out for team members, right?
Unfortunately, most bosses aren’t perfect, and they’re definitely not mind readers. They’re busy people with worries of their own.
That’s why the best strategy is to take charge of keeping your boss updated on what you’re doing and do it in a way that serves both of you well. Especially when remote working is involved.
Done well, updating your boss is one of your career “secret weapons” because it’s a great opportunity to be more visible with the people who matter in your career, so make it a regular part of your routine.
