Be an entrepreneur who inspires and makes your team evolve while being with you
There are bosses who fall in love with their employees. Not in the sense of the word, of course, but because of their ability to motivate their team, retain talent and help their employees become better people and professionals.
An article, originally published in "Inc", shows the characteristics of these captivating bosses. Find out what they are and incorporate them into your life:
1. listening
Sometimes taking the time to listen to what your managers have to say is more important than saying the best words. Pay attention to employees' complaints, criticisms, suggestions and compliments.
2. Don't be a "star"
Employees like leaders who don't put themselves on a pedestal, who are close to them. Be approachable.
3. Empowering others
Don't hire people just so that they bring profits to the company. You really want your employees to grow personally and professionally while they are with you. Give them tips, teach them things and advise them whenever you see fit.
4. Valuing success
Don't think that employees are "just doing their job" by performing well. Lack of appreciation demotivates people. Celebrate success whenever possible. Give praise.
5. Delegate
As well as making your life easier, passing on tasks to others is a sign that you trust your team members. And showing trust also motivates people, according to the article.
6. React at the right time
Good bosses don't make impulse judgments. They react at the right time. Avoid making destructive criticisms publicly and be rational before making difficult decisions.
7. Admitting your mistakes
Leaders are human and can make mistakes just like anyone else. According to the "Inc" article, there's no problem in owning up to your mistakes. Employees will know when their leaders are wrong - they're not stupid. That's why owning up to a slip-up sounds humble and realistic.
