I feel so fortunate to be able to say that our Management team here at BBS really is exceptional!
I came across this article that talks about 10 Things Really Amazing Bosses Do and thought how perfect!?
According to the author of this article there is a difference between a good boss and an amazing boss so check it out!
1. Good Bosses maintain control and get things done.
Amazing Bosses empower their team with time, resources and techniques, to solve
big issues with big ideas instead of Band-Aids and checklists.
2. Good Bosses foster a sense of community, making room for everyone.
Amazing Bosses form an internal culture by design
rather than default, making sure they attract the right people to get
on the bus and then get them in the right seats. They also make sure
that the wrong people never get on the bus, or if they do, they get off
quickly.
3. Good Bosses invite creative thinking.
Amazing Bosses know how to integrate creativity into daily
conversation and procedures so that every employee feels natural about
being creative and facilitating productive creativity when interacting
with others in the company.
4. Good Bosses create an open environment for voicing concern and frustration.
Amazing Bosses integrate open communication to the point where the
expression of honest concerns is expected, required, and desired by everyone involved to achieve the highest levels of team performance.
5. Good Bosses encourage career development for their employees.
Amazing Bosses integrate individual learning and development
into every job description so that personal growth is required and
rewarded. They make sure the company apportions time and
dollars toward personal growth so that everyone shares reasonable
expectations of commitment and success.
6. Good Bosses run effective and efficient meetings.
Amazing Bosses educate the team on
facilitation techniques and give each person consistent practice at
structuring and leading effective meetings with postmortem feedback.
7. Good Bosses build trust so people feel safe.
Amazing Bosses encourage constant interaction and high
performance within the team so they succeed or fail together, creating
tight bonds of loyalty to the company and each other. Successes are met
with equal high praise and rewards, while failures are met with
encouraging acceptance and postmortem learning discussions yielding next-step improvements.
8. Good Bosses generate happiness in the workplace.
Amazing Bosses constantly seek and execute ways to help
employees gain deep personal satisfaction from their responsibilities so
they are inspired and excited to come to work and perform well every
day.
9. Good Bosses make sure people are responsible for their roles and actions.
Amazing Bosses promote personal accountability by effectively and efficiently aligning the team, communicating in rhythm, and measuring progress so they can adjust quickly with minimal risk.
10. Good Bosses know how to praise and show gratitude.
Amazing Bosses know how to instill a deep sense of personal
satisfaction and accomplishment in individual team members; a strong sense of self-confidence and self-praise outweighs any pat-on-the-back or award provided.
