    I think I'm doing something wrong.lol.I bring my girls Coffee and lunches and they are always telling me what to do and where I'm going.
    I think if you take care of your staff and those who work hard for you it comes back ten fold.We have very few employees leave,my whole staff with exception of one has been with me for a decade or more.We work more like a team then a boss/subordinate situation and this office dynamic seems to keep everyone engaged and involved and striving for better.

    A true leader should never have staff buy gifts or flowers for his/her spouse or children

    rr, you sound like someone who takes care of and looks out for his employees - and you're right, it's always reciprocated.

    Thanks Hedo.I do and take great pride in how we treat the people and their families that spend so much of their lives working with us.My industry is not an easy one so it makes their commitment that much more important to us.Why not reward those who work so hard.

    exactly. and doing so only rewards you back with loyalty and trust and, in turn, financial rewards for the company. it's such a shame more people in power don't understand this incredibly simple concept.

    Wish more bosses had your mindset, I worked as more of a PA for someone, if reps wanted to talk to him, they had to go through me. Usually, they had to talk to me/give me their sales pitch and I had to relay the message. Reps even would come when it was my day off to talk to him, and then he'd yell at me because he didn't have time to talk to them. I would always get calls on holidays on my days off from him too. I liked being self-sufficient & working independently, though working on my days off wasn't so fun.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
