Its hard to obey a boss.. for so many reasons. But what does it take to be one? And who is the perfect boss?
A year and a half ago, I came across an article on "How to be a Good Boss". Sometimes I get to thinking, what kind of boss am I? At best, I follow most of the items from this article..
1. Realize that management succeeds via the efforts of the workers.
2. Delegate responsibility and then trust your people.
3. Know your employees to know your strength.
4. Clone yourself - many times.
5. Empower your staff to make critical decisions, and don't second-guess them.
6. Create a clear chain of command.
7. Help them learn to work out issues without your intervention.
8. Deal with any problems quickly and directly.
9. Tell your staff how much you appreciate them - in front of customers if possible.
10. Show your appreciation by doing things for them.
11. Share your goals with your employees.
12. Learn to be an effective listener.
13. Be the boss.
At some point, I still try to be the perfect boss, though I know I still have a lot to learn. And, even as I do my best (some points not mentioned), there is still the margin of this topic being subjective to a person's perspective.
