Peer tip: “To keep your boss apprised of all that you do that is unnoticed, you could keep an action list (brief bullet items) of things that have happened and what you've accomplished that week, and the approximate time you spent on it – just to give him a track record of what you do. There are daily things you should take authority over that boss shouldn't have to mess with, or spend his time muddling over. What's the old saying? ‘It's sometimes best to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission’”.
