Energy, Not Power.




Do the dishes, now. Could you please take out the trash for me? Hey buddy, how was your weekend? Every “boss” has their difference; how they conduct their duties as a manager, how they socialize with colleagues, and how successful they are meeting predetermined expectations. So have you ever had a bad boss? If so, what caused you to deem that boss “bad”? Let’s be honest. There are no actual arbitrary yard sticks for measuring how good or bad a boss is considering all the factors that go into the job, so let’s ask; how can a boss be more than a boss? This blog will introduce not only the skills a business leader of the 21st century should possess, but also how they need to implement these skills.
