What qualities do define a great boss?

Lilian Maluki, an insurance agent is of the opinion that defining a great boss, one carefully considers his or her personality.

“A great boss should not just show in paper what he posses but also in his heart and mind because it is where it matters the most,” she says.

A good boss will perfectly mentor you as an employee and lead you all the way. They also earn respect from their staff by giving respect too,” she says.

“A good boss knows how to differentiate emotions and professionalism, says Fridah Mokeira, a bank teller in the CBD.

“I remember once having a boss who could not keep her emotions at bay. She would rather scream at her employees if things did not go her way which I thought was rather unprofessional. I agree that they are human too but should also demonstrate professionalism with a bit of human blended in it,” she says.

She also adds that “Some bosses are just bullies who always want to be dictators and lead by authority.

A good boss will inspire you and give you a chance to work without intimidation,” she concludes.
