Brittney Helmrich wrote this past week in the online Business News Daily on how to be a better boss – but actually backed her points with science and solid research. Read it in full here.
These ideas may seem simple, almost too simplistic, but the research behind them is solid and has proven their worth. The five tips are listed below, but the full article and the supporting evidence is well worth the few minutes it will take to read.
- Be nice, not tough
- Allow employees to unplug (from the workplace)
- Encourage feedback and ideas
- Plan team-building activities
- Let go of bad apples
This week, why not accept the challenge to take one of these five, and explore it further, maybe even setting aside time to develop a plan as to how you can implement it to improve your skills as a “boss” or leader.
