My boss is cool. He comes to chit chat everyday and cracks jokes and does everything a normal person would do. As long as you work and get the work done he is ok with you. But if you dont work then you see another side of him.

My boss right now is horrible because she is a punk! She lets her assistant basically set her mood for the day, and tell her what to do. I feel that any true leader (boss, supervisor, manager,...etc) should truly lead in their position not be lead.

Sometimes my boss is a real pain.  It wouldn't be so bad if the person had any common sense about things.  I mean some things my boss thinks up is so asinine!

I had a great boss at my last workplace.  Here are some of the reasons why I thought so:\n\n1. Led by example.  He treated the office as a family, cared about the people, and he was personally very committed and hard working therefore, the people tended to be more committed and hard working.  We actually worked with a sister company under the same president and CEO.  just the two division were run day to day by different General Managers.  Yet this culture and attitude of the two divisions was night and day, and I definitely attribute the better working environment to the personality of our General Manager (my boss).\n\n2. Had an open door and fought to get rid of the institutional/corporate roadblocks for me to be able to accomplish my job.\n\n3. Unafraid to make tough decisions and stand up for them.  Overall, I think leadership has a lot to do with character and confidence.  Confident and secure people tend to not be the ones who fly off the handle for no reason and are unafraid to be decisive and not waffle about.

A good boss?  Encourages staff to grow and learn new things.  Gives credit to staff and never acts as the lone hero.  Treats staff equally, never showing favoritism.  Takes responsibility when something goes wrong, instead of pointing fingers.  Doesn't belittle or humiliate employees in public.  All criticism is done in a helpful way, and in private.  Gives employees a chance to shine by allowing appropriate levels of autonomy.  Clearly defines the job duties and goals, and gives evaluations based on those agreed upon terms.  Makes decisions and acts upon them.  Likewsie, do what you say you are going to do.  Respect your staff as professionals who were hired to do the job because the boss thought they could do it.  Show gratitude and acknowledge good work.  Act in an ethical way so that you serve as a good role model.\n\nA bad boss would not do these things, or do the exact opposite.  For example, making promises that are never kept.  Yelling at a staff member in front of colleagues.  Having the attitude that "a paycheck should be thanks enough."  Taking credit for all the good and laying quick and heavy blame for anything that goes wrong.  \n\nHaving lived through the bad boss scenario as well as the good boss, I know which one I choose.

I used to have an "unruly" boss.  He made my life and everyone else's miserable at work.  I just swallowed my pride and remembered what the Bible tells us to do.  Eventually he got fired and things at work became much better.

Whatever the job remember:\n\nTeam-work\nIntuitive\nReliable\nWilling to work until the job is done\nFlexible\n\n& Leadership Qualities (if applicable)\n\nYou will however need examples where you have shown these qualities. And be able to describe them clearly.\n\nAlso you'll need to be able to relax, have a laugh and be socialable. That's pretty important these days.
