What do bosses do


Bosses, the seemingly evil creatures who at the same time stealthy to the extent that you are unsure of what they are doing behind those closed doors, if anything. Well, I sure hope your boss is not like what I described! There are definitely better bosses out there. However, not all bosses are transparent. Sometimes you are just not aware of what their actual role is, as you and your colleagues are doing all the work. Here are some clues on figuring out what your bosses actually do.

3 Role of bosses

1. QC work
Your boss should be in a position to know good or bad work when he sees it. One of his roles is to make sure your work is up to standard before someone outside or higher up gets to see it. After all, he is responsible for your work.

2. Manage the team
He is also the caretaker of the team as he takes care of the welfare and issues of the team. Remember that time your baby was sick, who was the first person you talked to?

3. Strategize
I think a key attribute that bosses should have is to play the role of the planner. They should be able to plan the long term objective of the team and implement new measures to achieve that. ( This might not be required from a middle-level boss, but definitely a good to have)
