You had a good working relationship with your former boss, but now she’s moved on. So how do you make a good impression on her replacement? Here’s what careers experts told Fast Company magazine.

Network and explain

You can’t assume that your new boss knows about your past achievements, says Robyn Tingley, author of 10 Essentials for the Motivated Millennial. This means you need to spend time getting to know each other, perhaps over a cup of coffee. It’s also a chance for you to offer to help your new boss, Tingley said.

Build trust

If your boss is new to the company, you can provide “historical information”, says Jeff Skipper, CEO of Jeff Skipper Consulting. At the same time, you can talk about your own role in past events. Say something like, “This is what I’ve been engaged in over the last [period of time] — and here’s how I’ve improved it, or how we’ve improved it, so you’re fair to your team,” Skipper advises.

Do your homework

Find out as much as possible about your new boss before you meet. For example, what did she do in her previous job? Has she won any awards? What about family and hobbies? This will give you some insight into the sort of person you are dealing with — not to mention provide you with topics for small talk.

Find out your new boss’s management style

Ask your boss how she wants to work with you and your team, advises consultant Jana Tulloch. “Find out what [she feels] are the priorities for your department, and be able to confidently speak to how you contribute to those priorities when appropriate, such as during task or project update meetings,” Tulloch says.

Show you’re willing

Let your manager know if there are projects you would like to take on or events that you would like to attend. “It’s not about offering yourself up to every need,” Tulloch explains, “but to target those that you feel your skills match with and where you think you can make a great contribution.”
