What should I pay attention to when traveling with my boss for the first time?

Many people are newcomers to the workplace, or they are on a business trip with their boss for the first time because of their work relationship. I am anxious because I have no relevant experience. They don't know how to spend a business trip with their boss, and they can't even sleep at night before a business trip. So, what should they pay attention to when traveling with their boss for the first time?

First, be familiar with the boss's travel itinerary and travel preferences.

You must know the boss's preferences when you are on a business trip for the first time. You can ask your boss's old colleagues who have been on business trips together, and ask them what his boss likes to do when he is on business trips, whether he likes to talk to you about work when he gets up, or whether he likes to watch his mobile phone or sleep alone on the bus. Does his boss like meetings when he is on business trips?

Knowing these preferences, you can prepare in advance. If the boss likes to talk about work with you by car, then you should prepare the summary of recent work and the focus and direction of the next step in advance, and make predictions and preparations before going on a business trip, so that when the boss asks you in the car, you can calmly answer. If the boss likes to travel for meetings, you should know in advance the process of the boss's travel for meetings, whether it is mainly based on the boss's own explanation or problem summary. Know the boss's work habits before taking corresponding measures.

Second, we should be self-disciplined, punctual, disciplined and provide good service.

Be punctual for the first business trip with your boss and act in strict accordance with the agreed time. This requires you to know the time node of the whole business trip in advance and discipline yourself strictly according to the time node. It is best to arrive at the scene 5 minutes before the corresponding time, and don't let the boss wait for you. Of course, if there are uncontrollable factors such as the change of travel time, you must report to the boss in advance and ask for his advice. Don't wait until the time is right to tell your boss, which will only make your boss passive and make you criticized.

When traveling with your boss for the first time, you must behave yourself, talk less and do more. You know, disasters often come from your mouth. Don't make suggestions and ideas until you know the boss's attitude towards you, lest the leader think you are impetuous. For another example, having dinner with the boss and customers, don't pretend to be the host, sit in the wrong seat, or chat with customers, which will only shorten your career.

When traveling with your boss for the first time, you must provide good service. For example, helping the boss carry a bag, helping the leader to pour tea, and helping the leader to make meeting minutes. Remember to be careful, so that you can leave a reliable image more easily, which is beneficial to your future development.

To sum up your first business trip with your boss, you must know your boss's itinerary and preferences in advance, and be punctual, disciplined and provide good service. I believe that if you do this, maybe a business trip will open a new world for you in this company.
