What We Wish We Can Say To Our Bosses
Bosses need to listen to their employees too. But not all bosses are good listeners.
If you have people working for you and you're wondering what they might be thinking right now, maybe you can learn from the following examples:
1. "I need the right resources to do the job." We all have to have sufficient time, appropriate materials, correct information and some authority to work well in jobs.
2. "Know and say it when you are wrong." This is really the best way our bosses can earn our respect. They have to be able to admit it when they make mistakes, too. After all, no one is perfect.
3. "Ask for my input sometimes." No one has a monopoly to all the good ideas at work. It might help if our bosses would listen to us sometimes.
4. "I need to know what you think." We all can do better if our bosses will talk to us about how we're doing on our jobs more often.
5. "It would be nice you would be back me up, too." A good leader must also know when to support the people below them.
6. "Know what you want." Bosses must have clear work objectives. That's the only way subordinates will know what they need to do.
7. "I don't like fake deadlines." Bosses should be able to trust people below them that the work will be done on time.
8. "Teach me." It would be nice to have bosses that allow us to grow, too.
All of the above applies as well when you are running a home-based business and you have people working for you either remotely or in person.
