I believe a good professional relationship of the boss and the employee makes an impact over the performance of the employee and his/her mindset. What's your opinion on it? Please share the same.
I propose at least four different styles of relationship with one's boss, and all are not desirable or profitable. The are the mentor-mentee relationship, the partner relationship, the authoritarian relationship, and the threat relationship. The mentor-mentee relationship is best during one's early career as the mentee may benefit substantially from the shorter learning curve a qualified mentor might enable, but I believe that it is essential that the mentor-mentee relationship quickly mature into a partner relationship by early mid-career. A mentor-mentee relationship that constrains the mentee's growth quickly erodes the creativity and motivation of the mentee. In the worst case, it devolves into an authoritarian relationship where the mentor (boss) utilizes the mentee (subordinate) as an extension of him or herself. Even worse than an authoritarian boss is one who has so little self-confidence that he/she is threatened by every hint of success by a subordinate. A boss who cannot celebrate the accomplishments of others with enthusiasm and sincerity should be avoided at all costs.
Finally, a word from the business world - there are no mentors after 40. I would take this further - there are no bosses after 40. Regardless of degrees and other credentials, an academic who has not established his/her own voice and line of research by then is not an authority in their own right. The self-validation and the self-authentication that is the essence of academic publication and presentation cannot thrive within the confines connoted by the term "boss." We must be free. We must be bold. We must learn to "fly" on our own.
When the boss feels the real responsibility towards his employees and towards the institution in which he works, he develops his relationship with the staff and makes them work as a single family and this is reflected positively in the economic output of the institution in which he works, and this relationship leads to the professional development of staff working with .
University states no boss and academic autonomy with faculty and students and assessment of faculty by self, enrolled students in class, Head of Institute in decreasing order. Performance of faculty locally via human bonding with academic fraternity and permanent via consistent imagination or quality research work of international repute.
A great deal of responsibility rests on the shoulders of the boss of a company. Bosses must effectively manage, lead and inspire employees. Good managers bring tangible benefits to a company, including the ability to motivate employees and align them with the company's vision.
Bosses play an important role in the professional development and growth of their employees. Interpersonal duties, information tasks and decision-making tasks are among this role. In fact, bosses with their own leadership can be the best model for their employees.
Good bosses have empowered me to move forward, but bad bosses have given strains and blocked development of my career.
What can you say about those teachers who have been selected despite their poor performance. They are also boss and shape futures of children and hence generations.
To me, nothing is more important than having an open minded boss with a high rate of professionalism, and excellent skills in public relations and communication. Accountability and self-responsibility of bosses are critical to our success in professional life. Such character traits can really make a big difference in professional development.
The boss, as you named it, has the role in advising and directing you if you need it and lost your way. It may be much more than that but it depends if you can work independently. The more help you need the greater their role.
A boss can both improve and hinder the performance of employee's. A good boss inspires, is supportive and brings out the best of his people. They will gladly contribute to whatever project and give it their all. A good boss leads through example and only steps in when things don't work out and there is trouble at hand.
A bad one will step in when things actually work out smoothly and hinders working process and lead to terrible results. Why does a boss step in when everything works out, turning things from great to worse? Sometimes the position of "boss" is being understood in a way that he or she has to proof his or her position to employees or team-members.
