I chanced upon this article titled Why Nice Bosses Finish First, by Dr. Travis Bradberry, co-author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0. He talks about the fact that the era of "tough" boss is over and its now the era of nice bosses. In this article he discusses what exactly does a "nice" boss look like and how does one pull this off without being a pushover. I've copied the highlights here:
- They’re kind without being weak
- They're strong without being harsh
- They’re confident, without being cocky
- They stay positive, but remain realistic
- They’re role models, not preachers
- They’re willing to take a bullet for their people
- They balance work and fun
- They form personal connections
- They deliver feedback flawlessly
- They’re generous.
Have you worked for a nice boss? Please share some traits you observed.
