- Be warm, not aloof.
- Give your boss complete respect. Remember he or she got the position because of the right skills. Just be thankful for the opportunity to work with someone with skills.
- Focus on the positives of having a young boss.
- Acknowledge your strengths and possible contributions to the company. Focusing on your abilities may help ease any feelings of resentment towards your boss.
- Brush up on new skills like learning new technologies and technical terms.
- Never undersell yourself.
- Dress appropriately.
- Be a mentor. Find a proper way to sound off ideas or give advice without sounding pompous, your boss can much from you. But, be tactful.
