Follow these five tips to become a “good” boss.

1. Speak with respect – It seems that respect has taken a back seat to disrespectful verbal and non-verbal behavior that is rampant in our society. It is time to put respect back into business and life. It starts at the top with the boss. Do not shout at or speak harshly to your employees or interrupt them when they are speaking.

2. Eliminate sarcasm from your delivery style - do not make fun of or embarrass your employees. Sarcasm and public displays of criticism are negative.

3. Be a good listener - Communication is about more than speaking; it is also about listening. If we expect our employees to listen to what we have to say, then we must be willing to listen to them as well.

4. Think before speaking - Before reacting to a situation, think about the ramifications of what you will say to the employee.

5. Act calm and confident - Have a calm tone of voice, speak softer and slower, and smile. What you say and how you say it will either make your employees want to come to work or dread coming to work because of the negative environment.

These five tips will help you create an environment that promotes productivity, teamwork, and success to increase overall profitability and foster a winning attitude among your company’s stakeholders.
