How to Learn To Be a Good Boss

Step 1
Learn everyone's first and last name. Act like the people who work for you matter. When addressing them or simply when saying good morning; always begin with their name.
Step 2
Call a weekly meeting to speak about the agenda. This gives everyone a clear picture of your expectations. Always alot minutes to speak about suggestions and or problems. Keep the mood upbeat, no matter what is said. Every problem has a solution. You're the boss now. Find the solution.
Step 3
Never call meetings on Mondays or Fridays. People are too tired on Mondays and they are preoccupied with their weekend plans come Friday.
Step 4
Be professional but approachable.
Step 5
Expect professionality in return.
Step 6
Set high standards for everyone. Set higher standards for yourself.
Step 7
Believe that kind words work; then use them.
Step 8
Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. Leave the "Been there, done that" attitude at home.
Step 9
Invest in a company retreat for your employees. Focus on team building and other skills. Then take what you've learned back to the office.
Step 10
Be a teacher... Every Day!
