Being the boss of a company can be a tough task, there’s no doubt about it. With so many people under you, you’ve got a lot on your plate. Then, you have to take into account all your other duties too. Every working day is a challenge, and you have to be ready to conquer it.
If you’re the boss and want to get better at what you do, then follow these simple steps:
Always Be On Time
The first step to master being the boss is ensuring you’re punctual. A punctual boss gains the respect of everyone. Nobody likes dealing with someone that’s always late. Your clients will hate having to wait around for you at meetings. Your staff will get annoyed when they turn up to work on time, and you stroll in an hour later.
If you’re punctual, then you create an aura around yourself. If your staff come into work on time, and you’re already there, it gets to them. They’ll immediately get down to work as they can see you’re already in the office and want to make a good impression. Similarly, leave work last as well. Be the first in, and the last out, it’s a sign of a great boss.
Be Aware Of All Your Employees
The next step is to be aware of all your employees. If you run a small business, then there’s no excuse for not knowing everyone’s name. If you can speak to your staff on a first name basis, it shows you’ve taken the time to get to know them. And, keep a close eye on them, and it looks like you care about them. From their point of view, they like the interest you’re taking in them. It makes them feel valuable, so they work harder for you.
And, from your viewpoint, it gives you a chance to monitor everyone. Keep a close eye on your staff to see who’s performing well or not. Plus, you can watch behavioural patterns to see if someone acts shifty. White collar crime is a big problem in the business world, with many employees committing it under their boss’s nose. As seen here http://www.duffylawct.com/state-crimes/white-collar-crimes/ there are many white collar offences. It’s easy for an employee to commit them if their boss isn’t always watching. Stay aware of your staff, watch them closely, and you’ll be a better boss.

Balance Your Work/Personal Life
A big part of being the boss is ensuring you balance your life properly. You can’t turn up to work with personal issues on your mind. Ensure you separate work and home from each other. Try and do all your work in the office, then relax with your family at home.
Trust me; this helps you be a better boss because your life is well-balanced.

Plus, family time is a great way to recharge your batteries and gain extra motivation. You leave for work every morning determined to do your best for your family.
Follow these three steps and you’ll master the art of being a boss. People will respect you, and you’ll run a tight ship.
