Years ago, people didn’t really like their boss. In fact, they would express fear when asked about their relationship with their immediate supervisor. Bosses were secretive, conniving, and not to be messed with. Then came a new wave of bosses. These were the folks who wanted to be your friend. But they had a method to their madness. They wanted to get close to you so they could find out what motivated you so they could squeeze more work out of you. Again, it wasn’t a very positive relationship between bosses and employees.
If you are facing the very real possibility that you are going to be someone’s boss, don’t get too caught up in the past. You have the chance to be the boss you’ve always dreamt about — and yes you can be the boss everyone likes.
Here’s how:
Be Understanding
There’s nothing worse than working for someone who is inflexible or unrealistic. Be a better boss by being flexible and understanding of your employees. This is particularly important as millennial employees tend to put more emphasis on work-life balance then on becoming workaholics.
Learn to Communicate
A great boss is someone who is skilled at communicating with all different types of people. Communication skills can be learned over time and practice. Always have an open door communication policy with your employees. Learn to demonstrate compassion and also become a good listener when dealing with your employees.
Build Positive Relationships
You don’t have to be everyone’s best friend in order to be a good manager. However, you do need to be someone that others can respect and relate to. Take the time to get to know your subordinates and develop positive relationships with each person. Find out what motivates them and what their career goals are. Be an encouraging source of support to help people reach their full potential.
Recognize Your Team
Bosses who recognized the unique value in every individual are well on their way to being the boss that everyone admires. Evaluate your employees and identify their strengths as part of your team. Give regular praise and recognize the effort of your employees. Provide meaningful projects that honor the strengths of employees.
Set Reasonable Expectations
A good boss will recognize the human side of the business. They understand that each individual has specific talents, but that there are also certain limitations. When conducting performance reviews other employees, remember that the goals that you set must be reasonable and attainable within a certain amount of time. So too, the support and resources must be available. Don’t set unrealistic demands on people. Remember what it felt like to be put in this position by a previous supervisor.

There is one thing that is constant and that is change. It is no different in the workplace. As new technologies emerge, new ways of working also arrived. In the last few years, the workplace has changed dramatically. More people than ever before work from home, at least part of the time. Mobile technology has enabled teams to collaborate from around the world. E-learning technologies have helped more professionals to develop their skills on the job than ever before.
So what’s in store for the next few years? Let’s take a look at a few ways that technology has changed the way we work.
Changes in the way companies hire people.
Thanks to technology, we have begun starting to look at people not just by a paper resume, but by the brand image that they create for themselves. This brand exists on social networks. This is very critical for certain positions for companies as they will continue to measure a person’s value by their online influence. Companies are also turning more and more to technology tools to screen and assess candidates long before they even bring them in for interviews.
Changes to the methods people use to collaborate.
Meetings are simply not just meetings anymore. No longer are people stuck in stuffy conference rooms together. Instead, technology has enabled teams to collaborate and meet with each other virtually using a variety of methods. From webinars to teleseminars, people are able to connect on demand which enables companies to make quicker decisions and make more use of meeting time.
Changes to the way people prioritize work vs. personal time.
The millennial generation, which now encompasses the largest portion of the workforce, is leading the way towards more work-life balance. By tapping into technology tools, millennials are able to transform the workplace from former workaholic zones to productivity areas. They value their personal time above work time, therefore when they are at work, millennials are more apt to get things done.
Changes to the ways we work with customers.
Additionally, companies are better able to handle the challenges of working with clients by using technology. For example, many companies have now turned to social media and live messaging technology in order to quickly and effectively address customer concerns publicly. Social media is also used by many companies to foster positive client relationships and create brand loyalists.
As you can see, technology has changed many things about work as we know it and will continue to do so long into the future. Want to know how technology could help in your workforce? Contact Advance Staffing Solutions today!
