If I were the boss?

Everybody has an idea of what they would do if they were the boss. We all criticise and think we could do better in one way or another. The truth is that it is easier to idealise a perfect boss then to be one.

As a Public Relations Practitioner I see communication as the most important tool in a Manager/Staff relationship. Naturally there are other components that are important when “being the boss” but in order to run a department or a company good communication is the key.

If I were the boss I would try my upmost to communicate effectively, good and bad news. This can solve a lot of issues from miss understanding a task to staff motivation and productivity. Being the boss I would also bring the outside world inside the company giving my staff an “out of the box” view of the organization. Knowing what is happening outside can motivate the people inside to be better.

As a boss it is important to have good communication skills and with it give clear directions, complements, boundaries and not least listen effectively.
