Essentials of an Ideal Boss

Dear Students,

I am sure all of you would like to be termed as a good boss in an organisation.

This raises the question, "What are the essentials of an ideal boss?"

Here is a checklist in terms of "Do's" and "Don’ts".

Don'ts:

• Never belittle an employee in public.
• Never take credit for something an employee did.
• Never cause fear to employees.
• Never be a " no excuse allowed type".
• Never shout or yell at employees.
• Never try to humiliate an employee as punishment.
• Never play favorites.
• Never try to meddle into everyone's work for quality.

Do's:

• Correct employees in private.
• Try to give employees full credit for what they do.
• Start building a caring image.
• Clearly define job duties and deadlines.
• Speak to employees with respect.
• Provide feedback and training fror problems on the job.
• Treat all employees fairly and equally.
