Of course, cool career types and power-oriented managers who make your working life difficult will unfortunately also be remembered.

But when will your team remember you positively as their boss? Which leadership qualities and personality traits are important for this ?

The answer to this question is actually quite simple: these are the bosses who want to lead, look after their employees, those who are authentic, trustworthy, with integrity and are therefore accepted as leaders.

Such “positive bosses” show their personality instead of hiding behind their role. They can differentiate, for example, fear from grief or anger in themselves and among their employees. This is commonly called EQ, which does not exclude an appealing IQ …

And last but not least: they have a sense of humor! Because what strengthens the team spirit more than laughing together?

Next week I’ll take up the subject of „humor“ again regarding the benefits of self-humor – stay healthy and humorous … 🙂
