When working with a new manager, it's important to learn their communication style. If your boss gives you instructions, make sure you are clear on what they are asking. Never make assumptions! As you get to know your boss and the expectations on the job, it's a good idea to ask clarifying questions to check for understanding. You can also simply repeat back to them what they asked of you to make sure you're hearing them correctly. Just make sure you are clear on your boss's request. Let them know that clear communication is important to you, and if there's anything you can do better or differently to help, you are open.
