We all know it. Bosses can be the most inconsiderate and most self centered people we will ever meet and quite honestly, most of us have tried to murder them...in our minds o!

But what makes a good boss different from just the fact that he/she is an employer? Is it strictness? Having a commanding tone? Or just the fact that he/she pays your salary?

Well...Here are my top ten things anyone should look out for that show your boss is a great boss.

1) A great boss will SHOW you how to accomplish a task instead of TELLING you how to accomplish a task. Hence the saying: " Do as I do and not as I say".

2) A great boss would never employ someone based on academic preferences or recommendations by friends or family. He/she would prefer you to show them what you can do on the spot!

3) A great boss is never partial i.e He/she has no favourites at the office. Everyone is equally treated- in clouding family members!

4) A great boss knows the difference of being strict and being wicked. I think this point is self explanatory.

5) A good boss doesn't act like a small 'god'. He/she knows each staff personally as well as professionally due to constant interaction and socializing outside a working environment.

6) A great boss has compassion for his/her staff.

7) A great boss can never be read in terms of character. A great boss would never allow you know what their thinking, that way they always keep you on your toes.

A great boss will keep his/driver happy....Always. Contrary to mass belief, Nigerian drivers always tend to have more knowledge of what goes around his boss' environment. They serve as spies. Plus they drive you. Literally your life is in their hands Everytime you step into your car.

9) A great boss should always employ a very handsome or beautiful receptionist. Its simply what you call STRATEGIC MARKETING and the face of your company relies on this.

10) A great boss should know when to apologise...irrespective of staff designation.

The kind oga bosses that we have lately wants to fire down your legs or fire you if you don't allow them to fire.

I have seen a scenario where a boss slapped a surbordinate for a simple unavoidable mistake that costs $0.0000


The only CEOs that i know that exhibits this trait is ifeanyi ubah and tony elumelu.. I was priviledged to meet them one-on-one on over two occasions and believe me, first impression matters.

(11)A great boss can never seize your salary or make trouble with you when he notice you want to resign

This is educative.

Op is mixing some things up...for example what has hiring a beautiful lady got to do with being a great boss? That has to do with being a smart, cynical strategist but does not relate to being a boss which is about leading and managing people. Now to be a great boss these are the three ingredients i feel are absolutely necessary:

1. Be technically sound

Roy Keane once said the most important quality of a leader is being the best player on the team. Whether you agree with him or not, it is vital that your subordinates can look up to you for guidance when stuck. You want to wield both legitimate positional authority and charismatic authority over them. If your staff understand the work better than you do, you have a problem on your hands.

2. Be utilitarian in the locus of your control

Being a strict overseer is not always good and its not always bad. What great bosses do is they evaluate their staff and they figure out who is a type A and who is a type B and relate with them accordingly. Type A' are best left loosely supervised whereas you might need to strictly monitor everything a type B is doing.

3. Never get personal

Being a nice boss and being a great boss are two different things. A nice boss is a pleasure to be around with, a great boss is one who helps you get the best out of yourself professionally. To do this he or she shouldn't get too personal with you. Almost inevitably, most people are driven by fear/reward in the work-place instead of intrinsic motivations such as personal ambition or the fear of God. So a great boss knows that their staff have to be afraid of what might happen when they mess up. This sort of tension is great for keeping employees alert. But if they are already too personal with you, they really are not going to take you serious most of the time.
