I like a strict boss, I feel a strict boss keeps you on your toes. Astrict boss to me is someone who ensures that the work gets done. Sometimes they use methods that might seem harsh but it’s the work hard now and relax later.

Someone who allows me to explore my #creativity in completing my daily tasks. One who understands that #productivity is met when employees feel comfortable in the workplace. A #leader who’s always seeking innovative ways of doing business. #JobAdviceSA

Little emphasis is placed on vetting a new boss when seeking a new role. Having a mismatch in expectations can be a major set back in your career! Find someone that sharpens your skills! It is a great gift to have a mentor that happens to be your boss. #JobAdviceSA @JobAdviceSA

A boss that is open-minded and who’s eager to open doors for his/her employees to be part of any learning opportunities

I would like to work for a boss who actually cares about what they do. Who is interested in creating value and growth and importantly the brand of the entity should matter, such a boss potentially might not see employees as dispensable but valuable, quality matters to such a boss. I know if all of these things matter to my boss, I will be happy as to grow the company they have to further develop and take care of their employees. A well taken care of skilled employee is great ammunition to have in your arsenal. At least I would like to believe so.

The kind of boss that looks after their employees, the kind that puts effort and training in to each individual, the kind that creates a positive and effective culture in the work place.
