Are You A Good Boss? You may think so, but how do you really know?

A good way to figure out what kind of boss you are is in JimMiller's book Best Boss, Worst Boss.

Since many business owners are unaware of their behavior, Millerhopes reading good boss, bad boss stories can teach you to be oneof the good ones. If, for example, you're like the tightwadowner who charges his staff 30 cents for every personal phone call,you'll likely have a harder time attracting employees.

Being a "good" entrepreneur often directly impacts thebottom line. Miller's best bosses are generous, empowering andcompassionate. And workers who feel appreciated are not onlyhappier, but more productive, efficient and loyal, which can onlyhelp your business grow.
