Being a Likeable Boss
Submitted by Anand on 6 June 2023 - 2:32pmWhile many who enter into management and leadership roles want to be genuinely liked by the workers they supervise, seeking popularity for its own sake can be a dead-end path.

However, being a likeable boss and a respected boss does mean you have to learn to be more effective.
