Do you have what it takes to be a great boss?
It’s not rocket science. But it’s no cakewalk, either.
-
Would you come to work on a vacation day to make sure that an important project you assigned is going well?
-
Someone who works for you messes up. Will you call that person out publicly?
-
Do you think employees should fear you? After all, you do have power over their futures.
-
Your own boss unfairly criticizes one of your direct reports. Do you let it go because your boss doesn’t like to be contradicted?
-
When it comes to figuring out how to proceed on a project, do you always know best?
-
You oversaw a successful project. Should you take full credit?
-
You’re paying someone to do a job. Seriously, shouldn’t that be thanks enough?
-
You’ve told your team what you want, but they’re not getting it. Do you assume they just aren’t listening?
