Are you a good boss?
It's lonely at the top.Being the boss comes with a ton of pressure. And when you're in a management position, it can be difficult to evaluate how you're doing.
Are you striking the right balance between commanding respect and appearing accessible? Are your employees responding well to your style of leadership? Are any of your actions breeding resentment in the office?
Being a good boss is crucial for your organization - a third of employees in one survey revealed they'd quit a job due to a bad manager, as Business Insider previously reported.
So how can managers tell if they're doing a good job? You can't exactly go wandering around the office asking people - that would look pretty weak. Employee satisfaction and engagement surveys aren't a bad idea.
