What are you REALLY worth in the eyes of your boss?

Does he value you above others, or is he just trying to save on pay by creating the illusion of a good relationship?

Is it really possible to get a promotion from him?
Or are you just being fed promises?

A sign of the leader's trust is an open discussion
with an employee of their personal or business problems

Discusses strategic changes with you throughout the company or department before they are approved.
Growing up to a leadership position, your boss, most likely, has already learned to keep his mouth shut, not voicing those decisions that have not yet been made. He knows from experience that many plans are not carried out precisely because they are, as they say, "chattered". Planning a strategy for a company is a rather intimate process, to which only "their own" are allowed. So only those who have earned full trust can be allowed to influence this process. If the manager asks for your opinion at the stage of discussing possible changes, you are obviously included in the circle of the elite.

you will learn about the company's plans only after they are accepted, for example, at a general meeting or from a corporate mailing list. This means, alas, that your opinion is not very interested in management, and your status in the team is low.

To make a successful career and get a promotion is possible only with the support of the leader. And support is given only to those who are trusted. Therefore, if none of these signs appear in the behavior of your boss, it's time to think: do you want to make a career or are you ready to continue playing secondary roles? If the first, right now set yourself a new work task - to win his trust.
You will definitely need it.

Neither the underlined politeness nor the direct assurances of your boss can serve as a reliable indication of the true attitude towards you. But in the behavior of the leader there are stable signs that indicate that you are a valuable employee for your boss. Which?

YOU ARE IN GOOD ACCOUNTS WITH YOUR MANAGER IF HE:

Openly tells you that he does not understand any work issue
To show ignorance in a professional field means to admit one's vulnerability. Especially if you do it in the presence of a subordinate. For what will prevent an employee from exposing the boss in an unsightly light in front of his superior or competitor? Or “just” laugh at him with colleagues in the smoking room? Nothing but respect and devotion. If the manager does this, he is sure that you are reliable and will not stab him in the back.

On the contrary, if he does not trust you, he will in every possible way pretend that he understands all business issues without exception - even if he did not understand a word in the submitted documents.

Discusses with you his family and personal problems with his wife (husband), children, parents, etc.
This is a sign of great personal trust and a high opinion of you. This means that the leader appreciates not only your professional achievements, but also human qualities. Because one can discuss personal dramas only with those from whom, firstly, they expect sincere sympathy, and, secondly, the ability to keep other people's secrets without making them "the property of the republic."

On the contrary, if he does not trust you, then, mentioning his family, he sticks to "ceremonial" phrases and speaks only of success: ( "My wife visited the vernissage,
and the son received a diploma with honors ").
