Good bosses embody values such as openness, honesty, transparency and trust. When bosses create such an environment, they demonstrate the form of collaboration to employees.

Good managers give employees freedom in their tasks, they trust that the tasks will be completed and believe in the qualifications of the employees. A study found that leaders with an IQ of 120 or higher are considered less effective than those with a IQ of less than 120. It is also important that bosses and employees are on the same wavelength. No one is perfect - not even bosses, Therefore, bosses should set a good example and apologize for mistakes, says management coach Bernd Geropp to Merkur.de. The signs can indicate a good boss: Impulse, value orientation, empathy and fairness. Good bosses avoid excessive control and do not expose employees in a safe space. They should also be able to set priorities for the team and individual employees – there is little room for room for misunderstanding – and clear instructions are communicated to all employees.
