If I were the Boss ...

When I dream of being the boss I dream of starting work at 10:00, only to leave again at 15:00.  I dream about reaping the rewards, while others do the hard work for me.  I dream about living the good life and not worrying about the next day.

When I think about being the “boss” I think something totally different.  The website, e-How.com defines a boss as being an employer or manager, or a person with authority, a decision-maker, or a dominant person.

A boss needs to be a leader, a motivator, an example and a mentor.  A boss’ workday never ends.  There will always be something that needs to be done; it does not matter what time of day or night.  A boss does the strategic work, dividing the technical duties between the employees, making it possible for everyone to reap the rewards.  It’s true that the boss lives the good life, but he/she will always worry about the workplace and if the business will survive tough economic times, changing work culture and ways in which the business can keep up with the leaders in the trade or even be the leaders in the trade. 

Therefore, if I were the boss, I would work hard, think hard, keep goals in mind and yes, sometimes play hard.  My aim would be to be the “World’s Best Boss”.
