WHAT KIND OF BOSS ARE YOU?

WHAT KIND OF BOSS ARE YOU?

When Voltaire said, "Conscience is not the fear of God but the fear of authority." I am sure he was talking about office managers.

So, what kind of a boss are you – one who rules with an iron fist or one who has a laissez faire style?

It is well known that bosses who create an environment where staff members learn to manage themselves are most likely to maximize productivity and enjoy greater job satisfaction.

So, how does one go about doing that?

Here are three hints:
1. DISCIPLINE: It is great for running planes and trains on time but not people. Overdone, discipline smacks of dictatorship while an absence of it can account for a place running in a slipshod manner. We tend to believe that if something is good, more of it could be better, but in this case too much of it works in reverse. The trick is finding the proper balance.
2. SETTING GOALS FOR INDIVIDUALEMPLOYEES: Every employee needs discipline. After all, if you ask your employees to jump, they need to know how high. Good management works best when the goals are clear but not a prescribed method on how to achieve them. Loose reins mean that the boss tells you what to do but not how to do it.
3. PRAISE: Clear objectives and regular evaluation inspire people. An encouraging word is like a pat on the back and often of greater value than a monetary reward.

I would love to hear if you agree or disagree or even if I am missing something crucial. So, give me your input – email me at designersinc@sympatico.ca.

I'm always up for something new.
