If you could give one piece of advice to your boss to help them become a better leader, what would it be?

Make a choice. Weigh the risk/reward and make a decision - and own it.

Remember where you came from!

Don’t stereotype Hispanics.

Prior boss, thankfully. Don’t be rude. Don’t make grown men cry in my office. And don’t blame the onsite team for what corp expects you to do or doesn’t do for you.

Lead. Don’t boss

Thankfully I’ve had amazing “bosses” who’ve been leaders.
I would suggest, to the ones I’ve seen that could use some advice - don’t run amazing employees off.
A lot of times - it seems like the employees who are ALWAYS there for you, always willing to do more - are the ones who are constantly pushed around while the ones who could careless - get away with everything.
Just saying, notice the employees who bust their ass every single day for YOU and their company/property/owner.

Lead by example; don’t ask people to do things you are not willing to do yourself. (Prior boss)

Please listen to what your staff has to say before making your final decision. You may be surprised by their wisdom.

Don’t always trust what your employees tell you! Take it in, then observe the actions and work ethic of those around you...even the one who is providing you the information.

Discover and embrace humility. Arrogance and confidence are similar but wildly different. Figure that out.

Don’t get involved in the drama

Stay who you are. You are an amazing leader

Read more than the first line of the email before shooting off a reply.

Empathy goes a long way.

You amazed so many everyday for ten years. There wasn’t a time I didn’t learn from you. Everyone respected you and listened when you spoke. You lead without fear and when you walked into a room
you owned it. I miss your leadership so much. Enjoy retirement!

Find what motivates you and use that to get you through the challenges of this business.

Stop using the phrase “It’s always been done this way”. -Times have changed darling!

Lead by example. Don’t be afraid to get dirty & Be respectful of your vendors.

Listen more. Share victories and defeats equally with your team.

Hire people you trust and let them do their job. Also set clear expectations that do not change daily

When your staff is telling you it's too much work and they'd rather die than come back to work, maybe listen to that.

Do not put your team in a position where they are afraid to ask for help.

When everyone tells you in an exit interview that one person is the reason they're leaving, stop protecting that one person...

Not everyone is coming for YOUR job so let me do mine.

Wow this would be a long list...
-Actually know how to do your job
-try to give the occasional praises rather than constantly tell everyone what they are doing wrong, lowering their morale
-pay attention and understand what your employees are saying so your response is relevant
-don’t bully your staff
-Be responsive, it shouldn’t take 10 follow up emails for your staff to get a response
-lead by example, don’t harp on your employees about doing things a certain way when you don’t yourself

Don’t call people you work with “your” staff. Generally people that do this try to be self important. Just for the record my boss never does this and never has. But when I read others do this I cringe.

Capitalize on your employees strengths and not focus on their weaknesses. Let your employee be their own unique self... don't try to create duplicates of yourself because you're just that great!

Your staff should be happy to see you, not scared of you screaming and pounding your fists on the desk. Encourage them. Let them do good things and resolve issues. Believe in the staff. Create a sense of a unified team.

Give more constructive criticism. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. We grow when we know. Take more time to explain things.
I have had some of the best bosses in my life. Each of them added to my experience: A handful have truly touched my heart bc they invested in my knowledge and gave me the constructive criticism I needed to learn to be better. It was always polite and came from a good place: I am forever thankful for those special leaders.

Time management.. respect my time and I will respect yours.. As a leader you should never show up at a property at 5:45p when the office closes at 6p and expect your team to stay late because you didn’t coordinate your time accordingly.. if you give your team a timeframe of 12p and 2pm then that is the time to be expect and nothing later.. understand that your team have lives and families outside of work and their families don’t deserve to wait until 8p to see them because of your terrible time management skills

Servant Leadership can never go wrong.
Over communicate and present clear expectations.
Know the persons goals and fight to help them achieve it.
99% of emails can wait if it’s after hours. No need for a midnight work reminder.
Praise publicly and correct privately.
Insulate you’re team from the noise coming from above. Be the calm.

For my previous boss. Don't be a bully.

Trust my intelligence and knowledge about my community. Don't question others too much, have confidence. Give credit where credit is due (previous boss thankfully)
