Leigh Buchanan’s “The Office: Good to Great - The habits of highly successful bosses”
goes beyond a clever wordplay on Jim Collins’ and Stephen Covey’s books
to list qualities of universally great bosses. These qualities (that
Leigh’s article expands upon) include:
- Great bosses get the small picture and know employees often focus locally.
- Great bosses make people feel smart.
- Great bosses know who does what so they can recognize individual employees.
- Great bosses know when they’re not wanted and delegate.
- Great bosses remember details about their people.
Do you agree with these qualities? What other qualities should be in this list?
