You probably know the basic answer to this question: Your employer wants you to give him value for money. That means he is paying you to do your job. That's basically it. But in reality, there is more to it than that.
If you really want to be in the graces of your employer, and you want to be promoted to the highest in his organization, you need to do more than that. And reading this article will help you get into the groove of things vis-à-vis your employer.
1. He wants you to be a team player
Granted, you want to rise in his organization. But don't do it by stepping on other people's toes. A company means a group of people. They couldn't move in one direction if they are not organized. So, do your best in your work, in coordination with the team that you have been assigned to and not in conflict with them.
2. He wants you to rise to the occasion
Being brave is not just manifested in physical battle. It is also clearly displayed when no one in the organization would volunteer to do the job because it is not easy, not respectable and it will take a lot of time and effort. But if such occasions arise, and no one else volunteers, go take it, and you will earn the right to be your boss' go-to-guy.
3. He wants you to be dependable
Employers want to be sure before they take a single step, because it is their money that is at stake. Therefore, he is looking for people whom he can depend on to bring home the bacon. Are you trying to be that kind of employee?
4. He wants you to be a good representative of his company
Companies are like products. Just like consumer products, there are good brands and there are mediocre brands. So, when people look at you, what do they see? Are you a top-of-the-line product or a run-of-the-mill consumer item?
