They say that animal lovers end up looking like their pets, but according to new research, it turns out looking like your boss is actually the way to go.

Riordan called the results “compelling”, stating that this was because participants were more able to identify with people they felt were most like themselves. “Self-continuity enhances the respondents’ self-image and reinforces their membership in the group,” she said. Adopting some of your manager’s best practice is good; plastic surgery and a Deed Poll are steps too far.
