1. Pipe up first (or last) at a powwow. People tend to remember the opening and concluding comments at a meeting. So this is prime time to throw in your two cents.

2. Get in sync with her schedule. If the big cheese arrives to work at the crack of dawn, stays late, or goes to the company gym at 5:00 p.m., adopt a similar daily agenda to cross paths with her more often.

3. Finagle some face time. Your superior is swamped with office E-mails and memos. So skip the paperwork and each week give her a two-minute in-person bulletin on one pet project.

4. Praise your peers. Since tooting your own horn is too obvious, talk up a colleague to your boss. She´ll come to trust your opinion the next time she wants to take a pulse-check on her staff.
