How to Be a Better Boss

How to Be a Better Boss Are you  a manager?   Do you ever feel like you are failing  to motivate  your team?   It is hard sometimes to be  the boss because you want people to like and  respect you, but  that doesnt come easy.   I know I sometimes get  frustrated because I am a perfectionist and I expect perfection from my team.   I have learned that you have to be patient and teach people how to improve, rather than just fix things yourself.   Here are more secrets to success  from Investors Business Daily  on how to be a better boss: Demand honest feedback: You want to know how you are doing and what you can improve on right? Set standards: Dont reward average workers. Tackle problems early and fast: Problems will only get worse if you dont. Hire slowly and hire well.   Go beneath the surface during interviews.   Dont ask the same interview questions over and over. Instead,  make your  future employees give a presentation.   Get to know them and how they work.   Let the whole team interview the employee and get buy in from everyone.   Dont be the only one making the final decision. Know the drill: On a scale of 1-10, managers who rank themselves a 7 tend to hire 5s.   Why?   Because  average supervisors are afraid of being shown up.   Top managers hire 10s and are not worried about being shown up.   BE A 10!! Circle back:   Set high expectations  and make sure you  circle back to see if goals  are met. How does your boss  keep you  motivated?
