boss matters a lot. Research found that
having a good boss decreases your chances of getting a heart attack. Good bosses are especially crucial to
employee’s performance.
The leader of an organization still
matters more than the other bosses. They
sets the tone for his or her direct behave.
Their treatment creates numerous other ripple effects that travel down
and across hierarchy.
Best CEO practices:
·
Blended
‘top-down’ directive approach with a more participative ‘shared leadership’
approach in managing their top teams.
·
Encourages
other top team members to engage in constructive conflict, better decisions are
made.
Most bosses want to be great and most
employees want wonderful bosses. The beliefs
and assumptions you hold about yourself, your work, and your people shape what
you do every day and how you judge if things are going well or badly. There are
five beliefs to be embraced by best bosses as stepping stones to effective
action:
·
Don’t
Crush The Bird
·
Grit
Gets You There
·
Small
Wins Are The Path
·
Beware
The Toxic tandem

Got
Their backs.
