To be a Boss that employees will love is an advantage to any business.
Sure, some leave for more money, or for more opportunity, but very often the deciding
factor is that relationship with the boss. When that relationship is bad, everything
else is bad. When that relationship is good, even other less-than-satisfactory
conditions are both more tolerable and more likely to be worked out.
And for those of you who want to build really strong organizations,
the best performers are even more motivated by that relationship –
and they are the most likely to jump when things are not right,
since they will have more options open to them.

The Better Boss Guide:
|
Leading by example is the first step to being a better boss . A boss who is
lenient in his or her own duties does not present a respectable authority that
employees would look up to and follow. The saying, 'practice what you preach'
must be the guiding principle of anyone who wants to be a better boss.
Learn to delegate: A Boss must realize the
significance of entrusting employees with the responsibility of doing
their job. Micro-managing each aspect of the work belittles the capability
of an employee to work effectively. A better boss allows employees the
opportunity to work without much interference, promoting confidence and
encouraging them to work harder.
Respect the rights of every employee as an individual and as a co-worker
by acknowledging their presence and valuable contribution to the company. Being a better
boss means going the extra mile to help make people feel appreciated for the good work
they do.
Pay attention to what people have to say. Be a better boss by being present physically,
mentally and socially. Be available to employees in case any questions or concerns arise at the
workplace that may need to be resolved. Aside from grievances, the better boss also acknowledges
suggestions and ideas of employees that would benefit the company as a whole.
Assume the role of a problem solver at the workplace. Problems, work-related or otherwise,
often arise at the office. Being a better boss requires a keen sense of judgment and
impartiality in order to address situations that may disrupt the workplace.
Discuss issues with employees that affect them. Consult employees regarding matters that concern
them personally as an individual and as a member of the company. Be a better boss by resisting the
temptation to hand down decisions without getting their opinion on the issue.
Strive to Be a Better Boss by maintaining open lines of communication. Use the opportunity to
acknowledge the good work done by each and every employee. At the same time, communicate directly
with employees in order to clarify the responsibilities of each worker, thus leading them to work
towards a specific goal. Another ' better boss ' practice is to apply an open door policy;
it gives others the feeling that you are an approachable boss.
