Five Lowkey Things Great Bosses Do (That They Never Get Credit For)
And they wouldn’t want it anyway
How often do you say thanks to your boss?
I’m talking about heartfelt, actual thanks based on recognising how they’ve helped you and your development.
Most don’t bother. Not because they’re mean. They just don’t realise how much their boss does for them.
Because nobody pointed it out, they never realised.
Here are five of the easiest to miss that make a huge difference.
#1. Having your back behind closed doors
The most important decisions in your company are made far away from you, by people higher up than you. Some of these decisions affect you. Some are about you.
And you’ll never get a vote in any of them.
It doesn’t matter how good you are. This will happen. And when it does, you’re relying on others to fight your corner.
In steps your boss.
In these moments, a good boss talks up your qualities. They defend any low moments as part of your development. And justify any issues as part of your growth.
