Welcome back to the Better Bosses Blog!
How would you rate the bosses you have had? How would others rate your “boss-ability”?
In my continual search to stay on top of the issues, I find numerous reports that outline a stark difference: most people in positions of authority (our “bosses”) believe they are eminently qualified and competent; but, those surveys also indicate most of us do not share that same sense of confidence in our boss.
This lack of understanding on the part of the boss leads to inefficient workers, minimal innovation, and low productivity.
Why are so many bosses “clueless” about their workers’ opinions? Perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at our potential “boss-ability” and examine why there are so few “Better Bosses” out there.
Our intent is never to berate but to help you improve. If you are reading this you likely yearn to be a “Better Boss”, now or in the future. Perhaps you have been thrust into a position of authority with little training or experience and find yourself mired in the day-to-day operations. Or maybe you aspire to become the boss you always wanted and have decided that it’s time to begin the process.
Take a deep breath, slow down, remove any distractions, and let’s start at the beginning…
Realization #1: Becoming a “Better Boss” is a process. One you will likely refine throughout your entire working life. If you ever find yourself believing you have it all figured out, you have stopped growing. Never stop growing…
The first step is to understand the 4 primary roles bosses are required to “play”? Do you know what they are? We have developed an acronym to make it easier to remember and become a “Better Boss”: S.L.A.M.
Join the discussion. See if you can be the first to offer what we believe to be the 4 primary roles.
Until next time, use these words to help make today special: “All glory comes from daring to begin.” – Alexander Graham Bell
I have to convey my love for your kind-heartedness giving support to individuals that really want help with this particular concern. Your real dedication to getting the message across became amazingly effective and have usually enabled employees just like me to reach their goals. Your personal invaluable instruction means a whole lot a person like me and even more to my colleagues. Thanks a ton; from all of us.
My husband and i were quite glad that Albert managed to conclude his inquiry out of the precious recommendations he obtained when using the blog. It’s not at all simplistic to just find yourself making a gift of key points which most people may have been trying to sell. Therefore we do know we’ve got you to be grateful to because of that. These illustrations you’ve made, the simple website menu, the friendships you will aid to foster – it is many spectacular, and it’s really letting our son and our family feel that that matter is interesting, and that is extraordinarily vital. Thanks for all!
fantastic points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you recommend in regards to your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its field. Very good blog!
