1. Minimize interruptions.Time is your boss' most limited resource. Interruptions not only take up time, but people lose their train of thought and take additional time to recover. At least bunch up your questions to cut down on the number of interruptions.
 

2. Learn how and when to interrupt. Each person has different preferences as to what media they prefer to work with[2] as well as when during the day they prefer to deal with interruptions. Do you use IM, drop into their office or send them an e-mail or a phone call? It's critically important for you to understand your boss' preferences in this area.


3. Know how to communicate in an emergency. If there is a crisis affecting a client, how soon should you notify your boss? Should you make a call at 2 AM to let them know or just email them?

4. Know what information helps them best make a decision. Again, each boss has different preferences in how much information they need, what types of information, when, etc. Here are some alternatives.
  • Just present the problem, they'll solve it. Generally, however, bosses don't want to see problems without a recommended solution.
  • Present the problem and a single recommended solution. Some bosses will trust your judgment and go with your recommendation. Other bosses want to see alternatives along with pros and cons.
  • Present the problem and several alternative solutions, along with a recommendation. For some bosses, alternative solutions are just a waste of effort, but other bosses demand to see alternatives.

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it. Employees need to have an open dialogue with their managers and managers need to understand what works and what is possible. Different jobs require different approaches, but everyone can benefit from having an open and honest conversation about what balance means. 2.
