In Part One of this article, I had listed a few traits that a good boss should have.

Here are some more:

4. Be positive!

A negative boss cannot inspire his employees to do well. I mean, can one draw others to him or her if he or she wears a perpetual frown? A boss’s attitude will affect his subordinates. So you should have a positive attitude.

Smile and be cool all the time!

5. Be patient

It has been said that all good things come to those who wait. And that includes making better workers. How can you expect others to excel if you are beating down on their backs all the time?

6. Feel for others.

If you feel for your employees and have their welfare at heart, you have more than won them over. Once people know that you really care, they will go the extra mile for you.

A boss who thinks only of himself will not have any followers.

7. Laugh and bond.

Laughter and fun go a long way to breaking down barriers and building bonds with others. If you keep your protocol even on social occasions, you can bet your sweet job that very few, if any, will feel for you and your mission.

Lastly, for good measure, be fair. Don’t have favourites or look at things from a biased view. Especially, avoid race, religion and politics.
