As a boss, no one dares to say that they are free, wouldn't that mean the company is not doing well and not developing? But if all day long you are only busy with work, work mixed with endless stress, employees will not be able to stay long. What has your boss done to balance life and create a great atmosphere at work?
Trust and delegate to others:
Bosses are often perfectionists. And it seems that every boss likes it that way. Work is maximally efficient, employees are disciplined, and plans are executed precisely and efficiently. Every boss wants that. But if perfectionists do not know how to choose people, do not trust them to manage each area, then the company will certainly only develop at a low level. Imagine, how can the boss have enough time to participate in all the discussions about the idea of a new product advertisement, read every detail of the communication plan or review the reception plans at the customer conference. There will be suitable people, in charge of each department, who can control the details much better than the boss.
Proactive financial planning:
When the boss is struggling passively with the company's budget deficit, the employees' monthly salaries are still hanging there, stress has the opportunity to attack the most. Tension will increase many times, when at the same time marketing or PR plans need to be approved. If the boss is always proactive and quickly resolves expenses, even unusual ones, the boss will rarely be under financial pressure. Employees will always feel that the boss can listen and communicate equally well.
What to do to always be financially proactive, the boss will know better than the company's CFO. Shares are always the smartest and most popular method. Borrowing money from the bank with a feasible business plan... is also a common choice.
Live healthy and take care of yourself:
Employees will feel less stressed when they see their boss looking fresh, neat and full of energy. Imagine a beautiful day and seeing your boss looking haggard, pale and disheveled after a night of drinking or tired and depressed in the late afternoon…nothing good!
“This afternoon, get your shoes ready, you and I will do a few laps around the stadium…”, hearing the boss invite me like that, I feel healthy and happy. If the boss is diligent in exercising, dresses formally and elegantly, the boss will feel satisfied with himself, the employees will also feel comfortable, trust him and work more comfortably.
Humor at the right time and in the right amount:
Humor is like a little salt in a pot of soup, too much is salty, not enough is bland. Humor makes the atmosphere more pleasant, people accept criticism more easily, and humorous bosses will easily make the atmosphere in the office less tense, work efficiency is visibly higher. Employees trust and are closer to humorous bosses than those who are grumpy and unpleasant, of course. But being humorous while still being serious is not only the innate ability of bosses, but also the art of leadership that you can refer to from experienced people. Humor in the wrong place will make the necessary boundary between boss and employee disappear. The risk of "being a mullet with a head" will make partners or people around see your company as "unprofessional".
Optimistic and confident:
Employees are the ones who work with the boss, directly implementing the company's ideas and plans, so they understand more than anyone else the business situation and how much success the development plan will have. The boss's vision is broader, more comprehensive and further than the employees and his daily and weekly reports, which are the basis for the boss's optimism and confidence to become less paranoid. However, employees will also trust and admire the leader who knows how to be optimistic on a basis, they say: "My boss has a long-term vision". Optimism and confidence are always necessary for everyone, especially when that person is in a leadership position because it always has the ability to spread to everyone in his team. Optimism will help the pressure of busy people become lighter and more balanced.
