Question
#3 On the basis of the information in this article and your own experience,
describe the qualities of a person you would consider an ideal boss.
Answer:
The
qualities of an ideal boss are integrity and authenticity. Those qualities are essential
in being a good boss. A good boss gains the trust of his employees through his
honesty and transparency. He does the best he can and takes responsibility for
his choices. He is sincere and coherent because his interventions go hand in
hand with his speech. He uses his skills to put them at his employees' service
and not to play the finest.
A good boss
must communicate well. He should express both his expectations and his
appreciation for a job well done. He also knows how to share his feelings,
which makes him more accessible. Success, problem-solving, and the emergence of
new ideas require impeccable communication; a good boss knows that.
A good boss
shows empathy. He listens attentively and is sensitive to the needs of his employees.
He wants them to achieve their professional goals as much as they do.
