If I were the BOSS...

I would NOT:

· Have different office hours than my employees
· Treat my employees as if they are my slaves
· Be unreasonable
· Have a “chamber of secrets”
· Punish my employees for creativity and a pro-active attitudes
· Pass my work down to employees, just because I feel like it
· Accuse without knowing the facts
· Take leave just because I feel like it
· Tolerate attitude towards any member of the organisation

I WOULD:

· Believe, trust, support and motivate
· Listen
· Care
· Be honest
· Participate
· Encourage patriotism
· Explain as many times as needed
· Discuss
· Be approachable
· Laugh
· Be adventurous
· Firstly praise then discuss mistakes
· Have a four day week (for all employees)
· Create a ‘friendly and fun’ organisational atmosphere/culture
· Reward performance
· Be a friend, confidant and someone who deserves respect

I would NEVER:

· Be the stereotypical egocentric maniac that thinks employees should fall to their knees every time the boss walks in

Just because once upon a time I was that “CEO fearing” employee who hated every moment of working for that company.

Just because I know that respect, trust and friendship will contribute towards MY organisations bottom line which would be my ultimate desired future state.
