The bosses are the none villains to most of the working people. Blessed are those, who have a good boss and it is becoming a rarity to appreciate the good boss, they are blessed with. Since too many talks are going on about bosses, let us shift our focus to the employees now.
Not every one working under, is the best junior is again a very common thing from the boss’s side. But he can’t put that blame entirely on the team member. No, I am not against the boss, for I am one of the few endangered species who appreciate the good boss they have.
So what makes a boss better than the ordinary?
For that, we must first understand who is a good boss.
When will anyone be called as good boss?
The employee will have to feel good working under the boss, to appreciate him as a good boss.
When will the employee appreciate a boss as good?
When the employee relishes working for the boss and doesn’t feel burdened by the work done.
Is that even possible?
When you are following your passion, there is not a hint of burden even in the herculean task.
Okay, So?
A good employee feels no pain in following the passion.
A good employer is one who assigns that job to that person.
?!
Not a big concept..
Just the understanding of who is good at what and how well each person can do their work. When a boss understands that and uses it to allocate the job to that person, the job is done in the most passionate way without any hitch to anyone involved.

So the mere allocation of a job doesn’t make one a good boss. It is the understanding behind these questions:
- What is the job to be done
- What is the best way to do a job
- What are the resources required for that job
- Who possesses the technical expertise and knowledge to complete the job
- Who is capable of doing the job efficiently and effectively
- What are the powers needed to do the job
- What are the resources to be helped with for the job
If one answers all of them, he would eventually find the right person to the right job and thus becomes a good boss!
