Benefits Think Tip of the Day: Honesty is the best policy

Published Updated 2 Min Read

Friday (Oct. 16) is National Bosses Day. As a boss myself, I’d like to pass along a little unsolicited advice: Everything I need to know about being a boss, I learned in kindergarten.

1. Always tell the truth, even if it hurts. But do it fast — like ripping off a Band-Aid.
2. Treat everyone fairly, like you’d want to be treated.
3. Be a good listener.
4. If your staff wants to eat paste occasionally, just look the other way.
