10 things good bosses never do
This applies even if you hire someone to do work for you in your in personal life e.g. lawn mower, painter, personal chef etc
1. Coddle
Let your people stand on their own 2 feet
2. Lose their temper in public
It’ll show your leading from a place of fear
3. Sound indecisive
If a thought isn't formulated then keep quiete
4. Cutoff communication
5. Show disrespect
Just because you're higher on the hierarchy doesn't mean you have permission to treat people unkindly. Don't be an asshole.
6. Be content with your management style
There isn't a 1 size fits all for all people and all situations. Always be improving.
7. Overthink a hard decision
I find the harder or more complex the decision the better off I am trusting my gut feeling.
8. Get too involved
Most of the time you have to to let people figure it out on their own. You gum up the works if you jump in too soon. But see #9...
9. Wait too long to jump in
Trust your gut to know when to get involved in a
situation...see #7
10. Dress like a slob
Whether you like it or not people look up to you. Look presentable and they'll take you seriously even if it's on a subconscious level.
