A good boss is imperative to a successful workplace. The best bosses are serious, creative, and flexible. If a
boss lacks any of these qualities, problems are certain to arise in the workplace.
While humor and kindness are important characteristics for bosses to have, work is a serious business, and
must be approached with a serious attitude. A boss must be able to keep his/her employees working hard and on
schedule. He/She must set down rules, enforce them, and also personally adhere to them. If the boss comes in late
to work, leaves early, or spends all day joking with the co-workers, then the employees will neither respect nor
work hard for him/her. A boss must have a serious and professional attitude that sets an example for all of the
employees in the workplace.
To confront the countless problems that arise every day in the workplace, a boss must be extremely creative.
If a client needs the company to meet a deadline earlier than expected, a boss must find ways to motivate
employees to work faster and harder. A boss who lacks creativity might force his/her employees to work overtime.
In this case, the employees might be very tired and upset; they might work slower or produce lower quality work
as a result. A creative boss might spend a small amount of money, and treat everyone to dinner at the office to
encourage employees to stay late. In this way the company might meet the deadline, preserve quality, and keep
employee morale high.
Finally, the most important quality that a good boss must possess is flexibility. While needing to set serious,
strict rules, he/she must also recognize that at times the rules need to be bent or broken. For instance, a boss
should strictly enforce attendance policies in the workplace. But if an employee with an excellent attendance record
needs to take a day off for personal reasons, the boss should let him/her do it. In this way employees' loyalty to the
company will be strengthened, and they will be more happy and productive in the workplace.
