I've made individual development plans with my team that tracks their short/mid/long term goals I have optional leadership development talks monthly, to teach my team what I've learned as a leader of 12 years in my field We have quarterly academic days where we take the entire 2nd half of the day off to teach each other relevant skills we have in our industry All I ask is to let me know if you'll be out, and at least a month notice if you have planned PTO lasting a week or more (really that's more for their team to plan to pick up their load) I give the team opportunities to…


Hey all, I wanna hear what you don't want in a boss. Anything goes! Whatever you need to get off your chest! I try to get it right with my team every day, but I know Im not perfect.

  • I've made individual development plans with my team that tracks their short/mid/long term goals
  • I have optional leadership development talks monthly, to teach my team what I've learned as a leader of 12 years in my field
  • We have quarterly academic days where we take the entire 2nd half of the day off to teach each other relevant skills we have in our industry
  • All I ask is to let me know if you'll be out, and at least a month notice if you have planned PTO lasting a week or more (really that's more for their team to plan to pick up their load)
  • I give the team opportunities to grow with special, long term projects to give them experience in coordinating and planning projects, but they know I'm there to back them up
  • They're encouraged to pursue professional certs or conferences to further their knowledge and network
  • They know that if they mess up, I got their back from the boss, and that we will focus on improving for next time, not scolding

So tell me reddit, what do you NOT want in a boss, I always wanna make sure that Im not only improving, but avoiding other things that I may not even be aware Im doing.
