We really like lists, don't we? Especially in business articles. The five steps to success. The three things you need to start doing now. The seven things you need to stop doing. And so on.
Having said that, I did like this list of "appealing boss behaviours" -
- Wants you to succeed
- Always has time to talk
- Turns mistakes into teaching opportunities
- Keeps you on your toes
- Doesn’t micromanage
- Has consistent expectations
- Has high expectations
- Conducts formal performance reviews
- Communicates clearly and directly
- Is decisive
- Takes responsibility
- Will fire you without hesitation
