NlBOSS is a person incharge of, or employ. ngothers. Anybody who gives employment even to a single person can call himself a boss or, conversely, relish being called so by that person. Aleader is a person who leads and all bosses are not leaders though the opposite may be true. In good old days,especially . in films, the epithets 'Yes Boss' and 'No Boss' ridiculed the word 'boss' and the word came to be associated with 'bad qualities'. However,modern era and new breed have tried to give a respectful meaning to 'boss'.
A good boss should be an amalgamation of 9 '~s. He or she should be articulate, assiduous, astute, assertive, assessor, accountable, assimilable affectionate and accomodating.
ARTICULATE: AI! ability of correctness in articulation will keep a· boss in good stead. Proper way of putting ideas into a worker is the key for success of an organisation. This will also avoid a feeling of unnecessary ambiguity. If the boss is not in the know how of a worker's language, the services of an interpreter can be used.
ASSIDUOUS: A boss must be a hard worker and set example to employees. He cannot be an armchair couch potato
and bark orders. Whatever work a boss is expected to do must be done by him diligently. Even if there is no work at hand, a boss should know how to invite work.
ASTUTE: Astuteness is a quality which cannot be emphasised more. A shrewd boss will naturally know how to extract work without burdening the employees. Delegation of responsibilities, meticulously, is a hallmark of an astute boss.
ASSERTIVE: Bosses should understand when to assess themselves and when not. He/she should not insist upon things in a harsh tone but use authority with circumspection. When things come to a passe, however, the stamp of a boss should be unequivocal with-
out being dictatorial. .
ASSESSOR: Different
employees have varied capabilities and assessing the strengths and weaknesses should be a child's game to an efficient boss. Shifting of duties should be done purely on yardsticks consideredjust and proper to the boss. A pat on the back will do an employee a world of.good ..
ACCOUNTABLE: A boss is always a boss and this is true in terms of accountability too. Whatever be the omission and commission of an employee, but the boss is held accountable ultimately. He cannot shift
blame on workers. A boss who tries to fix responsibility on subordinates loses their respect.
ASSIMILABLE: Learning from employees and understanding their problems are important to a boss. He should be a fatherly figure and try to imbibe the difficulties faced by the staff and should offer sane solutions to the problems. Suggestions of workers should be absorbed and tried to be in.corporated in office work.
AFFECTION~rE: A great quality of an equally great boss. Bosses should never affront a worker in full view of others and if there any grouse, he should vent his feelings in the confines ofthe four walls of the room. An ideal boss should end any animosity between his workers 'Nobody is a permanent enemy' is the gospel sentence for' a good office atmosphere.
ACCOMODATING: Small errors from subordinates should be treated as minor happenings. Difference between mistake and blunder must be clear to the boss An error from an otherwise good junior must always be excused and repeated mistakes have ·to be open to adjustments.
Above all, a good boss must possess the knack of astonishing his staff with periodic gifts, perques and bonuses.
