10 Tips to make your Boss happy: Many people fail to excel in their professional career only due to the fact that they are unable to gain confidence and good faith of their 'Boss'. Here are a few basic tips to help the professionals ease this pain.
In this article, we will consider 10 specific tips that will surely make your boss happy!!! 

How to Win Your Boss!!! 

The journey of our professional career is dependent on a unique (sometimes annoying) personality that we refer to as 'BOSS'.

We should clearly know that, to steer our professional life, we should be in complete sync with this human being. It is often said by men that we work of ourselves or the organization but they should accept the irony and know for whom they work.

One of the recent South Indian Movie 'Baahubali' had an interesting and successful character called 'Kattapa'. The thing we should learn from him is 'He worked for the lord of the throne, no matter who it may be'. Same is our case in professional life. We just need to work for the person sitting on the chair of Boss, without our personal liking or disliking.

To be at the top in the profession/ job, you need to know and adopt just a few things. I am just trying to pen down a few of them.

Strategy for making your Boss Happy:

1. Know the personality of your Boss: Try and evaluate your boss, understand the personality and his/ her needs. Be disciplined in your approach and deliver the requirement right on time.
2. Know the 'Boss of the Boss': Please remember, our Boss has a Boss too.  Thus, it is important aspect to understand the requirements of 'Boss of the Boss', because these will flow down to us. If we can cope up this super requirements then our job is almost done.
3. Define internal timelines for a task: If you commit a target date to your boss, define an internal timeline (about 75% of actual) for completing the task. Take efforts (irrespective of working hours for priority tasks) to complete it on time.
4. Prioritize the tasks: This is one of the most important aspect to achieve success and fame. Learn to prioritize the tasks based on the ask. Remember, you will be given 10's of tasks. Even if you complete 9 with perfection, but the 10th (with top priority for the Boss) is incomplete, you are in a soup. Divide your time for each task with maximum time to the task of top most priority.
5. Be Proactive: Once you have evaluated Point No.1 and Point No. 2, learn to predict the tasks that might come to you. Be proactive, try and complete the anticipated tasks even before they are lined up. Even if your prediction goes correct 50% of the time, your proactive approach can make miracles.
6. Be helpful to team mates: Give some of your time for sorting out issues of your team mates (without anticipation of any gains). This not only gives you inner peace, but also develops a sense of respect in the team. This feeling (knowingly or unknowingly) goes to your Boss.
7. Always keep your Boss Updated on events: I am just referring to basic information about work, work place events, current happenings etc. Discuss on the topics that you feel might linger around. Escalate the things that are stuck up. These things may be seen as inefficiency to solve issues by some Bosses, but works for many. Just decide based on Point No. 1.
8. Never back talk about your Boss: This is just the basic rule,  not explanation needed.
9. Discuss work, do not discuss people: Just discuss the important activities and tasks with your boss, never discuss people. Remember, this is a professional life and not personal where you can just chat about the shortcomings of others. Your boss might feel that you can do the same for him. (Refer Point No. 8).
10. Be disciplined, dedicated and hardworking: Disciple, hard work and dedication for the work can never be replaced by any other aspects and are the basic of success. Try bringing them in your attitude, make them your part of life.

Demonstration of Soft Skills is also a very important aspect in addition to above. Kindly refer the article on 'Top 7 Soft Skills'.
On exercising the above aspects, people may feel jealous of you and if it is so then remember that the aspects are working. Do not overthink if people call you by names such as 'Spoon of the Boss'; 'Buttering the Boss' etc. They do so because you are close to the most important person and they are not just figuring out 'How'?.
