How much value does a good boss or manager bring to your organization? It might be easy to think that one person doesn’t make a huge difference but to your workers this can be a huge influence.
If your workers like their boss then they tend to be happier and more productive. I have seen companies institute cutback and employees stay because of their manager. It’s not easy finding a boss you like and when you do then they tend to be loyal to the boss more than to the company. The will work harder and in general be more productive.
So what constitutes a “good boss”? This can be very subjective depending on the employee.
1. Usually good bosses tend to be fair. They will listen to employee issues and try to work out a fair solution.
2. Managers that are knowledgeable can be a great asset. They can support employees and help with issues. They also appreciate the challenges of the job so they don’t ask for unreasonable requests.
3. Supportive bosses are those that will take up their issues with superiors. They know if working conditions are unfair and aren’t afraid to take it to management to improve conditions.
What traits do you think qualify you to be a good boss? Share these and any stories of bosses you felt fit this model.
