Introduction

Work is simply a part of life. Everyone must do something to earn their daily bread. Because everyone works, there has to individuals who are responsible for supervising those workers. As the owner of a business, you happen to be one of those individuals. Now, every manager has a different style of managing employees. After all, different people develop different ways of getting the job done. However, not all management styles are created equal. It is a proven fact that some styles produce better results than others. In other words, simply by being a better boss, you can increase happiness and satisfaction levels among your workforce. This, in turn, increases productivity and profit. Simply put, being a better boss results in a healthier bottom line. The question is how does one go about becoming a better boss?

This is where this book comes into play. Together we’re going to show you the specific steps that you need to take in order to become a manager who practices a more positive style of management. You’re going to learn why good management matters by understanding the benefits of being a good boss. You’re also going to learn the specific traits that make a person a good boss. Finally, you’re going to develop a “good boss” checklist that you can use as a blueprint to develop your own positive management style – a style that makes sense to you, your industry and the goals you want your business to achieve.

In the end, the basics of being a good boss come down to one thing – treating your subordinates in the same way that you would want to be treated. Remember that all work is labor, but not all labor is work. Think back to some of the most pleasurable chore-related experiences you’ve had. Perhaps, it was garden or yard work. Perhaps it was making your own firewood for the winter. Perhaps it was doing remodeling work on a house. The point is that, no matter the nature of the work, you were your own boss. This meant that, by necessity, you dealt with the labor involved in a way that motivated you. This, in turn, meant that you took great pride in the end result. You were invested in the process precisely because you treated yourself the way you wished to be treated.

Contrast that situation to one where your individual working rhythm was controlled by someone else who threated or browbeat you to produce the desired result. Would you have been as motivated to complete the project to specification? Would you have been invested in the process? Would you have taken as much pride in the results? The answer to all these questions is a resounding no. This is why leading by example is so important when it comes to positive management. Keep that point in mind as we work our way through the content in this book. It can help illuminate some of the concepts we’ll be dealing with and, perhaps, change some of the aspects of your own personal management style to your advantage. Now, if you’re ready, let’s get started.
