So it seems fairer view that in business matters little things just do not happen. As an example, it is not a trifle to find the correct answer to the question of how to choose the right gift for the boss.

Why is it important to the boss a gift

In theory, the business world appears a system in which everything is based on the principles of expediency: it is beneficial that is not profitable, that more or less profitable, how to achieve the ultimate goal as quickly and as easily as possible, and so on, and that further .  It would seem that in such circumstances there is no place irrational emotions, likes and dislikes, feelings should not affect the decision of business matters, because business is business .  In practice, as is usually the case, it's much more difficult .  Every sphere of activity, where human decisions and relationships are the main component (s business scope is just such), can not escape the human factor .  So that career is almost always depends not only on the professional qualities of a person, but also on its ability to build relationships in the team, and especially relations with the chief .  And what gifts are given by the head of this or that solemn occasion, has in this respect is very important .

Actually, to show their personal relationship to the chief subordinates are often able only after birthday gifts, New Year and other festive occasions. There is a fair expression boss a gift is a gift to yourself. Of course, hardly any of the chiefs directly confesses that on or do not like him a gift, depends on his attitude to the team as a whole and to its individual members in particular, and, therefore, depends on official fate of certain workers.

How to choose a gift

At first glance, to choose a gift for the boss to be much more difficult - well, as it is unpredictable nature of women, which is so hard to please. But in fact, in this case to choose a gift women leaders is not difficult: flowers, elegant and expensive gifts and decorations.

Of course, this still plays a very important role ceremony gift, accompanying speech, the atmosphere, packaging delights in the end. However, the gift in this case, choose a fairly easy - if a woman is bored of flowers, original souvenirs or jewelry, it is a unique case, a decent honorable place in the record books.

But with a gift for a man-manager is much more complicated .  For two simple reasons .  The first reason - the majority of men, and clothed with governance is no exception, just do not know what they would like to receive as a gift, just not able to articulate their preferences .  The second reason - men, unlike women, do not have a list of gifts that would be happy always .  So the traditional options in the form of expensive lighters, gold pens or globes with a claim on the antiques here do not work, the heads of this is many times were given, and in a drawer in the pantries have already accumulated dozens of pens, lighters, pendants and wall clocks .  So the only way to modern conditions, when the heads are now aware that they often give is to find the gift that will be pleasing to a person, not an abstract character of business life under the code name "Chef" .

For this purpose it is necessary to work hard and find personal preferences, interests, tastes, dreams and character traits Head .  If, say, the head of a man with a sense of humor and stick to a more or less democratic style of leadership, we can not focus on the present, and in the greetings or draw .  Alternatively it can be made a professional artist with humorous cartoon accompanying poems .  However, there is need to have a sense of proportion and tact, and it can be very easy to go beyond the limits .  Another option is to find out about a particular hobby boss about any of his passion .  For example, a collector of alcoholic beverages very pleasant bottle of expensive brandy or rare wines .  Active lifestyle to the court have the advanced sports bike or the latest model of multi-functional fishing superudochki .  Bibliophiles like to be an exclusive edition of his favorite writer, whether or Dante Bulgakov .  In a word, everything that is useful to a person in those moments when he ceases to be the boss .  Finally, it is possible to focus on the functionality and practical utility gift .  And it is in this regard in the present conditions for gifts this expanse: all kinds of electronic devices and computer gadgets, ranging from electronic opener paper letters and ending with the latest version of the "smart" phone or laptop are represented in the stores in such a quantity that will only have to choose what that at the moment a particular boss may be more useful .
