Are You A Boss?

Today is Boss's Day! I'm so blessed to have such a great team in my department. I had forgotten that today was Boss's Day. When I arrived at work, my secretary had a lovely bouquet and balloon sitting on my desk. Then she and several other team members took me to lunch.


Being a boss is many things.  It is sometimes being in charge of the actions of others.  Being the person they report to, the person they complain to.It includes being the person that sometimes takes the heat for the rest of the group.  Sometimes it also means being the person who has to lean on people to get a job done.  It also means you get the pleasure of watching people grow and learn and become leaders themselves.  It means you get to be their cheerleader at times.   It means being happy for other's successes. I'm sure Webster has a more succinct definition for "Boss," today it means "Bliss" for me!

Are you a boss?  If you are self-employed I hope you treated yourself to something special today to celebrate.  Please share you "Boss" thoughts.

  1. Yes I am a boss. I have two employees that prob didn't have a clue that today was bosses day. no matter. They often show me during the course of the year some appreciation by doing some things that are beyond their job description.

  2. It is nice when our employees are appreciative. I also make an effort to be appreciative of my employees as well.
