Bring an agenda to every meeting – that way you can work through what you need, and not forget anything. Flatter and give them the credit without being a creep. If you make them look good theyÂ'll like you. Agree with Trula's tip. Also, "communicating up" helps. Always keep your boss informed (briefly!) with what's going on w/ your work. Don't assume she/he already knows this.
Asking for regular reviews and welcoming feedback is another good idea. It engages your boss, makes them feel like you want to succeed/improve and keeps things from sneaking up on you (i.e. a problem that your boss sees and you have no idea that bothers her/him).
