The craziest thing about being a tough boss to work with is that you don’t realize it. You are likely to think your employees like and fancy having you around till you walk in a room and everyone takes up the freeze mode challenge. Stop and think, am I bossing everyone around because I’m the boss? Or am I leading them because I’m the boss? The term boss and leader have been used interchangeably in recent times but both have different connotations. A good boss makes his men realize that they have more abilities than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could.
Value your follower-ship by building a bond of trust. Stay honest and always act in transparency. Employees tend to function better in an environment where they feel valued and the boss doesn’t operate a double standard. Leading by example is vital, no employee can testify at your boss of the year gala without mentioning it. Lead from the front, while you’re dishing out the instructions and always roll up your sleeves.
