The thought of being the boss gives me the most amazing feeling of freedom, like Nelson Mandela felt when he was released from Robben Island (yes, I meant to compare my place of work to Robben Island!). However that thought only lasts for a few seconds before the reality of that wish actually sets in and I realised the amount of work that comes along with being the queen bee amongst the lot!
If however the day came that I would be sitting in the top chair, there are a few things I would like to implement, namely weekends being three days long, team building activities occurring once a week, free meals three times a day and of course all-expenses paid end of year trip each year for all staff – and there my bubble pops! Ok, maybe it is a bit over the top, but we all have to have dreams right?
If, realistically, I was the boss I would want to be fair and ethical in all my practices. I would want there to be an open-door policy amongst all staff and have sufficient resources available to enable them to do their job efficiently and effectively.
Training will be a key focus within the business as it is important to keep your staff up to date with new technology and methods available to make your business more effective. Our working environment should be a place where there is mutual respect for one another.
Weekly meetings with all department heads should occur to ensure that everyone is constantly kept updated with the ongoings of the business.
Well with that being said, it still seems like a dream because these days finding one company that has all these attributes is like looking for a needle in a haystack! So best I stick to my original dream because both have the same amount of ammunition to become a reality!
