The other part of my boss’s leadership is that she has a clear vision of where she wants to go, and shares that on a regular basis with her employees. She is open to new ideas, and has the self-confidence to allow others to express their negative ideas as well. Sometimes this results in a complete change in plans, for the better. I believe there truly is wisdom in numbers. She respects that and takes all input seriously. Everyone loves her. I try to emulate that in my own life now also.

I have had the wonderful experience of working for a wonderful leader. She is gentle, patient, very tactful and truly allows all of her staff to grow beyond what they ththink they are capable of. I started out not knowing anything about managing an office, and since she has always, ALWAYS, trusted me, I find that growth came as a result. Now I have an assistant, and am trying to do the same for her. The results are great. She is becoming more confident in her abilities also, and starting to stretch, the same way I did. It’s a neat thing to see someone else grow and develop their skills as a result of your encouragement.

Urban Panther,
Sad, but true and yet, I hope things are changing!
