If you have a job, there’s a roughly 50/50 chance you don’t like it—at least according to one sobering study last year. Not only are those statistical odds the same everywhere, but quitting for a more satisfying gig is easier said than done. Plus, it can take awhile to learn the technical skills you might need to land a job you like more.
But there may be a useful shortcut: What if you could double down on the so-called “soft skills”—like emotional intelligence—that you already have in order to improve the job you’re in? It starts with just thinking more strategically about your relationships around the office. Here’s what to do.

Turn your office blues into a job that you’re excited about—without having to learn any new technical skills.
If you take the time to understand your manager and anticipate their needs, you’ll be able to be there with a solution when they need one–all without having to actually learn new technical skills. Pay attention to the stumbling blocks that seem to get them every time, the kinks in the process that drive them crazy, and shift your thinking to approach problems from your manager’s perspective.
