I believe that many entrepreneurs are someone else’s employee early in their journey. If you are one of them, did you remember what’s your boss like? Is she/he like the boss you always imagine?
I’m sure more of you would say no.
You see, in your early years, I’m almost sure that you always dream of working for a perfect boss, but, unfortunately, that’s not gonna happen. Why?
Firstly, you often can’t choose your boss. When you look for a job, sometimes your boss’ true nature doesn’t show up until you have known him for a week or two.
Secondly, bosses are humans, too! They have the things you like and hate. What’s more, a perfect chemistry between a boss and her employees rarely happens.
With those being said, I want to remind you one thing: Make sure you don’t become the boss you hated during your cubicle days. Because whether you like it or not, if you are not careful, you will grow a habit of being bossy – along with some attitude that shout “trouble!” to your employees.
You need to do a professional check up: In your current situation, are you an inspiring leader, not a bosshole?
If you realized that you were the latter, congratulations – now you know how to be a better leader; there is a huge room for growth for you.

So, to recap, here are some tips so that you don’t become a leader that sucks:
- Don’t complain – and whine

- Don’t micro-manage
Got ’em?
