12 Ways To Become Everyone’s Favorite Boss (While Still Being a Leader)

No employee likes a rude boss or one who doesn’t care. Your team would be attracted to you if you show a little kindness. Like Glen Campbell said,

“you’ve got to try a little kindness, shine your light for everyone to see.”

But how do you do it? What should you try? Look at these tips:

1. Don’t Force It

Everyone hates forced friendships because most of them don’t just work out. Yes, you should be kind to your employees but if it doesn’t flow naturally, it’ll be rebuffed.

Being professional and exhibiting leadership should be your stance in the early days of this relationship building. Remember it’s not your job to be the cool boss but a good relationship with your staff rubs off on your company.

2. Take Criticism

You may not be right all the time, it’s possible that while handling management and other responsibilities in your work you may miss it at some point. So you should welcome criticism.

And give them a format to present any criticism they may have of your decisions. Some employees don’t criticize even when you encourage them to because they believe that most employers don’t expect them to actually do as they say.
