Office Politics

First you shuld know about yourself. It is so easy by using SWOT analysis. Make your mind clear that you are strong on what you know.

Second, Know your KRAs and KPIs. Sketch your profile to meet the same.

Match KRAs with SWOT analysis.

You will find where you are lagging.

Concnetrate on the mismatching points and make yuorself to overcome this.

It seems your boss is an articualte not an orator. So, you should be very careful in your vocabulary. Try to understand his language style, mannerism and influence.

Change your attitude with others as supprotive. Get confident of your colleagues that you are suitable for the psoition. This will diminish your boss's theory on you.

Moreover, he should not realise that you are oversmarting

All the best

You can also try speaking to someone senior in the organisation with whom u share a gud apport or are comfortable with.Not only will he/she be able to give u advise on taklin this situation but also give u some insights on how to escalate the issue in the organisation if need be.

Hi
what you can do is that please talk to him and make him ubderstand your skills and knowledge and also try to be friendly with other employees sothat it will create a healthy enviorement for you and would be more easier to work in working hours.
Your boss has an imperrsion that you dont get friendly with any employee thats y probably you can not work in TEAM but i think all these poblems can be sought out when you will implement my stratergy.

Hi,
I have gone through your post, this problem is faced by many specially in the begining when you are in the process of settling down in new org. Solution will not be easy to come specially if your boss is tricky one which you have to find out from your sources within the company .Let me tell you it wont be that easy either. Find out in a subtle way . Overtly dont take any PANGA with your boss because he may prove to be too strong for you. May be either your boss is ignorant /insecure and he may be feeling that if you prove too competent, to take his place subsequently. Address his insecurity , convince him that you are there to help him in the best possible way. I hope you are able to understand that overtly you have to prove your competence and loyalty to your boss and covertly you have to find out reasons of his reluctance to assign more responsibility to you.Take care of his deficiencies and I am sure that he may be having very many.Last but not the least ,be patient and never ever get angry , look for oppurtunities outside the company also but dont look for the escape route so easily. You can call me on this cell also if required-09226829191.

hi, i am new here. regarding ur problem. talk 2 him that regarsing ur current profile and the responsibilties u want to take. doing nothing will detoriate ur skills. secondly get it cleared 'all aspects'. if there is higher boss with whom u r comfortable talking then clear the matter. no boss would like to keep his people idle.

Dear Friend,
In my opinion wou should go to your boss and asked to him about the complication which you are facing , dont do it in a complaining way try it to do in a manner that what type of problem you are facing and how can you get rid of that problem with the help of your boss and involve your boss with this so definetly it will prove.

Hi

You need to do a few things to improve upon from the present situation.
As you have written, you are idle, feel marginalised and needless to mention a bit frustrated also.
As a first step to reverse the situation you need to talk to your boss. Request him for a personal meeting and tell him that you value his feedback in order to bring in desired behaviour modification in you. Listen to his feedback without reacting to it . Take notes if necessary and recall situations from the past to test the feedback. This way you will get the clues wherein you need to improve.
Secondly please do not be rude to others irrespective of the fact that they are rude to you. It is a reactive response and it will make thing worse. Reply to all in your most polite manner. Make it a habit. Done consistently over a period it is going to change everybody's view about you behaviour and I am sure no body will ignore you.
Best Of Luck

I feel you should sit with your boss and try to sort out the issues. Ask for time. Before you start one to one with him, please prepare your self and if need be list down specific examples of your achievements.

Be assertive and not aggressive.

Also talk about his strengths etc.

I feel this should break the ice and you would be successful

Its good that you dont want to change your job because of any body else, but if that one character is your boss and you are not able to learn anything while working then in my opinion is better to change your job.
