Habits… the things we normally do and feel like it’s part of what makes us. But aren’t you curious about what habits popular bosses have?
A STORY TO SHARE
Some time ago, I read in a business paper a story about these people asking business leaders “what they regularly do…”, or yeah, their habits.
And here’s a breakdown:
1. They communicate.
Lol, what is that?! We all know how to communicate…
But theirs ain’t no simple communication we’re talking about. They want to know, or they have to know what their people like, what they don’t like, and many more so that it’s easier for them to communicate.
2. They trust.
Aside from the fact that they openly communicate with their people, they also trust them big time. They don’t just hire them for their competence – but also for their intelligence
3. They work consequently.
Yes they do, they don’t have to say or do things over and over again, because everybody already knows what to do as a consequence of what the leaders have to say.
4. They know what their people and coworkers do.
They know what their people do to be aware of and understand the challenges they have in their everyday life. This way, they don’t over-expect the impossible.
5. They are open to mistakes.
The fifth thing is that they actually allowed the employees to make mistakes because they know that mistakes are inevitable.
6. They understand what their leadership is.
Good leaders understand that as leaders, their decisions affect everybody, but they also know their strong and weak sides.. And because they don’t want these to get in the way, they handle themselves pretty well.
7. They stand behind their people.
Yes, behind them or beside them, but NEVER against them! They always talk well about them, not the other way around even after committing mistakes.
8. They understand that everybody has a private life.
Good bosses know and understand that their people have a life; that they also have friends, family, pets, and things they need to do for themselves that are totally outside of work.
9. They help their employees apple upwards and forwards.
As leaders, they pull them up not down. They are good examples, a role model, a mentor… They know that their people need guidance and support too and that they are not robots who would do as they say.
10. They make sure that they can be trusted.
Great leaders and bosses know that when they are told something, they do not use the “boss” leverage to share what they know. They HAVE to be trusted because trust is one of the key things an organization needs to succeed.
SUMMARY
So. These are the 10 things that a popular boss usually does. If you want to be a great or popular boss and leader as well, then you must stick to these principles.
