\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a good leader isn’t about the position you hold; you can hold a leadership position and be terrible at it.<\/p>\n

For you to be a better boss, you must first understand the concept of followership; when you understand how to follow, then you wouldn’t find it difficult to understand how to lead, because they are both intertwined.<\/p>\n

These are some tips to being a better boss:<\/p>\n

1. SET ACHIEVABLE OBJECTIVES <\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss must be visionary, a good boss must have goals and targets, but it would be unwise to set unrealistic goals. This will only scare your subordinates and make work a burden. Be visionary, but move step by step till you achieve the desired height.<\/p>\n

2. A GOOD BOSS WORKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only way to earn the respect of your subordinate is when you not only work as hard as your followers but when you even work harder than them. A good boss inspires the subordinates by being a hard worker.<\/p>\n

3. A GOOD BOSS RECOGNISES THE STRENGTH OF THE EMPLOYEES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses, and it’s up to a good boss to recognise those strengths and weaknesses in the employees and assign tasks accordingly, while also helping them work on their weakness.<\/p>\n

4. A GOOD BOSS MOTIVATES<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss doesn’t frighten the employees; a good boss motivates and spurs them to be better. A good boss leads by example and motivates; good bosses don’t command and order people about.<\/p>\n

5. COMMUNICATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss ought to communicate well and provide the employees with clear directions and expectations.<\/p>\n

Also, a good boss knows how to talk to the employees. Many bosses tend to dress down their employees with their mouths, but a good boss wouldn’t.<\/p>\n

6. A GOOD BOSS PROTECTS THE INTEREST OF THE EMPLOYEES<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss isn’t selfish but is interested in the welfare of the employees and protects their interest as well; a good boss practices empathy.<\/p>\n

7. A GOOD BOSS LISTENS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss is a good listener. No man is an island and no man knows it all. A good boss understands that a subordinate could know something that they don’t know and learn from the subordinate.<\/p>\n

8. A GOOD BOSS TRUSTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss trusts employees who are due to be trusted and delegate certain tasks to them. This will spur that employee to strive for more.<\/p>\n

9. A GOOD BOSS SCRUTINISES OWN PERFORMANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good boss analyses and scrutinises own performance and makes improvement where needed. Good bosses understand that they aren’t perfect and keep assessing their performances and make relevant improvement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being a good boss isn’t by the title you bear, but by the qualities you portray.<\/p>\n
