What quality is needed to have a good boss?
439968
I am a manager and also have a boss to answer to. I think one of the most important things to have is the ability to listen, and here what is wanted and needed and do your best to get it done. Make sure you boss knows what you are doing to accomplish the task along the way. Keep them involved in progress that is made.

Patience is the key. Other qualities include things like: Friendly nature, the will to be the best, the capability to lead and focus on the topic in hand.

All the typical characteristics, such as hard-working, dependable, independent, and creative.  Shows leadership, willingness to do work above and beyond what's necessary to benefit the company, and on and on.  Basically, someone who will benefit the company a bit and doesn't really care about pay.  That's an almost perfect one.  A good one has a few of these qualities and gets along with everyone else, basically.

What are your strengths/weaknesses?  How would you handle a certain situation?  What did/do you think about your current/past manager?

In my experience, I think good work ethics depends on the company you work for and their corporate culture. If your Boss is a jerk, why the hell should you give him/her 110%. And in regards to helping out co-workers, there is a fine line between helping and being used. Define that line and you should be fine. But to my understanding, good work ethics is to do what you sign up for and do it to your best ability and if you decide to put a whole lot more into it, don't resent if it go un-noticed.

OK , the answer would depend on who you are more than who the boss is. It's like saying -  how do I deal with all the people in my life?\nAll of those who enjoy life, relationships with others have first made  \na discovery of themselves - really getting to know themselves(not too many ever do). Then, If you know at heart  that you are an OK person, worthy of love and respect- then you will know that is true of everyone else AND the boss. I wish you well.

firstly, do your job accurately and on time (better ahead of dealines). usually there is an annual performance evaluation, hence you will know when your boss calls you to discuss your performance

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.

do your job, work hard, be pleasant to all other employees, don't steal (time or property) don't be late, don't gossip, show willingness to help others and to progress through the ranks, until one day you become the boss!  It helps if you can make a decent cup of coffee as well.

Take a look at what you appreciated in a manager when you were their employee. Look to your boss as an example. Stay focused and organized,dont double talk,stay approachable and dont give up learning...\nCongratulations!

It is a funny thing, they say, about bosses.  What they say is seldom what they mean, even if they mean what they say.  \n\nAsking a person for an honest opinion is still in hope that the opinion will be good.  \n\nWhat I would encourage you to do is be honest, but be positive.  I would focus overwhelmingly on the positive attributes, but be honest about ways to help his business succeed (assuming he owns the business), or ways to become an "even better boss".  Feel free to add in a touch of humor, if that will lighten the mood, (such as, "I know you have it tough dealing with an employee with me, but").  \n\nIf there are some tough things you really want to say, let him know your intentions in answering the questions upfront (I have grown to appreciate and trust you and your wife, and will answer as honestly as I can in hopes of helping you get ahead).  That would mean a lot to me if I had handed you the questionnaire.

Be competent at what you do.  Do not engage in office politics.  Trying to make yourself look better usually makes you look like a brown-noser.  Just do your job to the best of your ability.

Quite simply... respect. I've had some lousy bosses in the past... and if you can't get a new job, it's not a bad way to go. Strive to do your best, and eventually, people will take notice. However, if you work for a small firm, where your boss happens to also be the CEO... I would go looking for a new job, immediately. But before you do, it NEVER hurts, just to sit down, and in a CALM and RESPECTFUL manner. Ask you boss for some leeway. Maybe suggest a "Trial Period" of a week or so. Just to see how productivity increases or decreases with out him breathing down your neck.

Hire the right people. Look for proven performers, pay them appropriately, and treat them well. Keep them informed with as much product knowledge as possible, reward them for performance, and keep communication open and honest.

First of all any experience you have in this area needs to be emphasized. List all of experiences you have no matter how small, showing them that you have an attention to detail, which is a great supervisor trait. List any skill you have as a people person as well as leader for they will be looking for someone who can do both. Last use references that not only give you a good endorsement but will ensure to them that you have unlimited potential and would be a tremendous asset to their staff and company. I hope this will be of some help to you and good luck on your new job.
